Daikon
The giant white radish, Raphanus sativus, which is sometimes known in the West by its Indian name, mooli. This versatile vegetable is a staple of Japanese cooking, and can be served boiled or braised. It is excellent either pickled (called takuan) or shredded and dried (called kiriboshi daikon).
Dulse
The sea vegetable Palmaria palmata, which is found predominantly in the cold, coastal waters of the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific. It has a lovely burgundy colour and a taste at once salty and peppery.
