WATCH: Watermelon radish hits stores

Watermelon seems to be the trending fruit this year, we have had watermelon steak, watermelon cake and watermelon ham.

However, watermelon radish has nothing to do with watermelon neither does it taste like watermelon.

The only similarity it has, is it bares a similar appearance to it’s namesake fruit, this radish is green on the outside with a redish-pink inside.

Best enjoyed in salads this watermelon radish can be eaten raw, cooked or pickled!
