Daikon (Raphanus sativus longipinnatus) is a mild white radish shaped like a large carrot. The name comes from the Japanese words dai, meaning âbigâ and kon, meaning ârootâ. Growing to a length of 8 to 14 inches (20 to 35 cm) and a width of 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm), it certainly lives up to its name. Variant varieties may be cylindrical or even spherical.
Other synonyms usually vary by region, so that daikon is sometimes taken to refer specifically to the usual Japanese form; similarly, the term radish may be used, with the regional variety implied by context.
