Radish varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common radish varieties compare.

VarietyBest for

French BreakfastRaw snacking and light roasting: oblong red-and-white skin, milder and crunchy.
DaikonGrating, braising, and pickling: long white root, large and mild with a clean bite.
Watermelon RadishColourful slices and plating: green skin and pink flesh, sweeter and nutty.

Which should I pick?

For everyday salads, slaws, and garnishes, the Red Globe radish is the supermarket default: round, crisp, and peppery. No Red Globe? French Breakfast radishes are milder and equally crunchy, good raw or lightly roasted. For a large, mild radish to grate or braise, reach for Daikon. Watermelon radish is the pick for colourful slices with a sweeter, nutty bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is one medium radish?
One medium radish (about 15 g) gives roughly 0.13 cups of chopped flesh. A small one (around 8 g) yields about 0.07 cups and a large one (around 25 g) about 0.21 cups, so set the size selector to match the radishes you actually have before you trust the figure. Open radish converter
How much does a medium radish weigh?
A medium radish weighs about 15 g, with a small one around 8 g and a large one near 25 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts radishes by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.
How much does an average radish weigh?
An average radish is the same as a medium one: about 15 g. A small radish is lighter at around 8 g and a large one heavier at about 25 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts radishes by the piece rather than by weight.
Which radish variety should I use?
For everyday salads, slaws, and garnishes, the Red Globe radish is the supermarket default: round, crisp, and peppery. No Red Globe? French Breakfast radishes are milder and equally crunchy, good raw or lightly roasted. For a large, mild radish to grate or braise, reach for Daikon.

How much does a large radish weigh?
A large radish weighs about 25 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 15 g or a small one at 8 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger radishes you actually have on the counter.
