Etymology
The word 'radish' comes from the Latin 'radix', meaning 'root'. It is derived from the plant's long history of cultivation, dating back to ancient times. The earliest record of radishes goes back to the Egyptians, who cultivated them as early as 2,000 BC. They were later adopted by the Greeks and Romans, who valued them for their numerous health benefits and culinary versatility. The cultivation of radishes spread across Europe and Asia over centuries, leading to many different varieties. The introduction of radishes to North America occurred with European settlers, and they quickly became a staple in kitchen gardens. Over time, radishes have evolved into various forms, including the well-known red globe radish and longer varieties like daikon.
