What it is

Daikon radish seeds are the small, edible seeds of the daikon radish plant (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus). They are typically harvested from mature daikon plants and can be eaten raw or sprouted. The seeds have a mild, slightly peppery flavor.

Why it's used

Daikon radish seeds are used as a garnish and flavor enhancer in various dishes, particularly in Asian cuisine. They can be sprinkled on salads, rice dishes, and stir-fries to add a subtle crunch and a hint of spice. Manufacturers may also include them in grain blends or mixes for added texture and visual appeal.

Health notes

Daikon radish seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. They are a source of nutrients like vitamin C and fiber. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar radish products, but specific evaluations for daikon radish seeds alone may vary. At typical consumption levels found in food, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Daikon radish seeds are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
