Do you ever take a double look at all the pretty colorful vegetables that are plated with sushi platters at Japanese restaurants? There is something sooooo captivating and lovely about these watermelon radishes! 🍉 🌸

Interesting fact if you Wikipedia these special lovelies, it’s function is to enhance the sweetness and minimize the fish smell of a sushi plate. These little colorful guys are so crunchy and a tad bit sweeter than traditional red radishes.

Fun activity of a scavenger hunt: look up Facebook or IG images of your fave sushi place and see if these watermelon radishes have been used in any of their dishes…. or look for these the next time you dine out safely or order takeout! 🍉 🌸🍣
