In culinary contexts, ''daikon'' ({{langx|ja|大根|lit=big root}}) or {{nowrap|''daikon radish''}} are the most common names in all forms of English. [[British India|Historical ties]] to South Asia permit ''mooli'' ({{Langx|hi|मूली|translit=mūlī}}) as a general synonym in English.{{refn|The ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'', for instance, provides an entry for ''mooli'', and only mentions ''daikon'' as its synonym in Japanese contexts.<ref>''Oxford English Dictionary'', 3rd&nbsp;ed.

Other synonyms usually vary by region or describe [[#Varieties|regional varieties]] of the vegetable. When it is necessary to distinguish the usual Japanese form from others, it is sometimes known as [[Japanese radish]].<ref name=ofa>Robert Bailey Thomas. ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=ABM9AAAAYAAJ The Old Farmer's Almanac.]'' p. 28.</ref><ref name=pname>{{cite web|url=http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/new/Raphanus.html#longipinnatus|publisher=Multilingual Multiscript Plant Name Database|title=Raphanus sativus L. (Longipinnatus Group)}}</ref>

The vegetable's [[Chinese language|Chinese]] names are still uncommon in English. In most forms of [[Chinese cuisine]], it is usually known as ''bái luóbo'' (white radish).<ref name="ofa"/> Although in [[Cantonese cuisine|Cantonese]] and [[Malaysian cuisine]], it is encountered as ''lobak'' or ''lo pak'', which are [[Cantonese]] pronunciations of the general Chinese term for "radish" or "carrot" ({{Lang|zh|蘿蔔}}). In the cuisines of [[Hokkien language|Hokkien]] and [[Teochew language|Teochew]]-speaking areas such as [[Singaporean cuisine|Singapore]], Thailand, and Taiwan, it is also known as ''chai tow'' or ''chai tau'' ({{Lang|zh|菜頭}}). Any of these may be referred to as "radish," with the regional variety implied by context. In English-speaking countries, it is also sometimes marketed as '''icicle radish'''.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

In mainland China and Singapore, the [[calque]] '''white carrot''' or [[misnomer]] ''carrot'' is sometimes used, owing to the similarity of the vegetables' names in Mandarin and Hokkien. This variant inspired the title for a popular guidebook on Singaporean [[street food]], ''There's No Carrot in Carrot Cake'', which refers to ''[[chai tow kway]]'', a kind of cake made from daikon.<ref name="WanHiew2010">{{cite book|author1=Ruth Wan|author2=Roger Hiew|title=There's No Carrot in Carrot Cake: 101 Hawker Dishes Singaporeans Love|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tJ3ySAAACAAJ|access-date=5 April 2013|year=2010|publisher=Epigram Books|isbn=978-981-08-2865-3}}</ref>

In [[North America]], it is primarily grown not for food but as a [[Crop rotation|fallow crop]], with the roots left unharvested to prevent [[soil compaction (agriculture)|soil compaction]]; the leaves (if harvested) are used as [[animal fodder]].<ref name=usda/> The official general name used by the [[United States Department of Agriculture]] is '''oilseed radish''', but this is only used in non-culinary contexts. Other English terms employed when daikon is used as [[animal feed]] or as a soil ripper are "forage radish", "fodder radish", and "tillage radish".<ref name=usda>Natural Resources Conservation Service.

In [[Hong Kong]], the misnomer '''turnip''' is also used. This name lends its name to the dish "[[turnip cake]]".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cummings |first1=Patrick J. |first2=Hans-Georg |last2=Wolf |title=A Dictionary of Hong Kong English: Words from the Fragrant Harbor |page=178 |edition=1st |publisher=Hong Kong University Press |year=2011}}</ref>

==Varieties==
Several nonwhite varieties occur. The Cantonese ''lobak'', ''lo pak'', etc., sometimes refer to the usual Chinese form but is also applied to a form of daikon with a light green coloration of the top area of the root around the leaves. The [[Korean radish]], also called ''mu'', has a similar pale green shade halfway down from the top and are generally shorter, stouter, and sturdier, with denser flesh and softer leaves. Both are often spicier than the long white radishes.{{Citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The [[Heirloom plant|heirloom]] watermelon radish is another Chinese variety of daikon with a dull green exterior but a bright rose or [[fuchsia]]-colored center. Its Chinese name {{nowrap|(<small>[[traditional characters|t]]</small>&nbsp;{{lang|zh|{{linktext|心裡美蘿蔔}}}},}} {{nowrap|<small>[[simplified characters|s]]</small>&nbsp;{{lang|zh|{{linktext|心里美萝卜}}}},}} ''xīnlǐměi luóbó'') is sometimes irregularly [[romanization of Chinese|romanized]] as the ''shinrimei'' radish and sometimes translated as the "beauty heart," "beautiful heart inside," or "roseheart" radish.{{Citation needed|date=March 2021}}

==Cultivation==
[[File:White Radish Seeds.jpg|thumb|White radish seeds|alt=]]
The Chinese and Indian varieties tolerate higher temperatures than the Japanese ones. These varieties also grow well at lower elevations in East Africa. If moisture is abundant, it can grow quickly; otherwise, the flesh becomes overly tough and pungent.<ref>{{cite book|last=Grubben|first=G.J.H.|title=Vegetables|publisher=PROTA|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_6jrlyOPfr24C|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_6jrlyOPfr24C/page/n444 444]|quote=mooli africa growing.|isbn=978-90-5782-147-9|year=2004}}</ref> The variety ''Long White Icicle'' is available as seed in Britain and will grow very successfully in Southern England, producing roots resembling a [[parsnip]] by midsummer in good garden soil in an average year.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}}

The roots can be stored for weeks without the leaves if lifted and kept in a cool, dry place. If left in the ground, the texture tends to become woody, but the storage life of whole untreated roots is not long.{{Clarify|date=February 2009}}

Certain varieties of daikon can be grown as a winter [[cover crop]] and [[green manure]]. These varieties are often named "tillage radish" because the plant grows a huge, penetrating root that effectively performs deep cultivation. The roots bring nutrients lower in the soil profile up into the higher reaches and are good nutrient scavengers, so they are good partners with [[legume]]s instead of grasses; if harsh winters occur, the root will decompose while in the soil, releasing early nitrogen stores in the spring.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tillage radish cover crop - tips to maximize its benefits |url=https://www.farmprogress.com/management/tillage-radish-cover-crop-tips-to-maximize-its-benefits |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=www.farmprogress.com |language=en}}</ref>

=== China ===
[[File:Li Wah Dim Sum - Turnip Cake (5339806715).jpg|thumb|Chinese [[turnip cake]]s are made with radish, despite its name]]
In Chinese cuisine, [[turnip cake]] and ''[[chai tow kway]]'' are made with daikon. The variety called ''mooli'' has a high water content, and some cookbooks recommend salting (or sweetening, depending on the region and context) and draining it before it is cooked. Sometimes, ''mooli'' is used as a medium for elaborately carved garnishes.<ref>{{cite book|last=Doeser|first=Linda|title=The Ultimate Chinese Cookbook|year=2010|publisher=Hermes House|isbn=978-1843093428|page=9}}</ref> More commonly, daikon is referred as ''bailuobo'' (白蘿蔔) in Mandarin or ''lobak'' in [[Cantonese]]. ''Bailuobo'' is used in various dishes for its unique and mild flavour after being boiled and cooked. For soups, ''bailuobo'' can be seen in daikon and pork rib soup (白蘿蔔排骨湯), daikon and tomato soup (白蘿蔔番茄湯), daikon and tofu soup (白蘿蔔豆腐湯), etc.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-01-22|title=5 Easy Mooli Recipes & Daikon Health Benefits|url=https://www.honestfoodtalks.com/mooli-recipe-daikon-radish-benefits/|access-date=2020-11-01|website=Honest Food Talks|language=en-GB}}</ref> Delicacies such as "shredded daikon" (白蘿蔔絲) and "cut daikon" (白蘿蔔塊) are popular domestic dishes too. Similar to Japanese cuisine, there are many types of pickles (in Mandarin Chinese: 咸菜 ''xiáncài'' / 榨菜 ''zhàcài'') made with daikon, for example, "sour-sweet cut daikon" (酸甜白蘿蔔塊), "spicy daikon" (麻辣白蘿蔔), ''daikon zhacai'' (白蘿蔔[[榨菜]]), etc.

=== India ===
In [[North Indian cuisine|North India]], daikon is a popular ingredient used to make ''[[Indian cuisine|sabzi]]'', stuffed ''[[parantha]]s'', ''[[pakoda]]s'', salads, pickles, and as [[garnish (food)|garnish]]. The plant's leaves are used to make ''[[dal]]'' and ''[[kadhi]]'', among other dishes. In [[South Indian cuisine|South India]], daikon is the principal ingredient in a variety of [[sambar (dish)|''sambar'']], in which roundels of the radish are boiled with onions, [[tamarind]] pulp, lentils, and a special spice powder.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sanjeevkapoor.com/mullangi-sambhar-foodfood.aspx|title=errorpage|website=www.sanjeevkapoor.com|access-date=2011-08-07|archive-date=2011-08-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110808083309/http://www.sanjeevkapoor.com/mullangi-sambhar-foodfood.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> When cooked, it can release a very strong odor. This soup, called ''mullangi sambar'' ({{Langx|ta|முள்ளங்கி சாம்பார்}}, {{Langx|kn|ಮುಲ್ಲಂಗಿ ಸಾಂಬಾರ್}}; literally, "radish sambar") is very popular and is often mixed with rice.

=== Vietnam ===
[[File:Daikon 20220423 083159.jpg|thumb|Daikon being sold]]
In [[Vietnamese cuisine]], sweet and sour pickled daikon and carrots ({{lang|vi|củ cải cà rốt chua}} or ''đồ chua'') are a common condiment in ''[[bánh mì]]'' sandwiches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chanphuocliem.com/Trang_GiaChanh/CachLam_CuCaiCaRotChua_eng.htm|title=Gia Chanh|website=www.chanphuocliem.com}}</ref>

=== Philippines ===
In the Philippines, the sour stew ''[[sinigang]]'' may include daikon. Daikon is known locally as ''labanos''.

=== Pakistan ===
In [[Pakistani cuisine]], the young leaves of the daikon plant are boiled and flash-fried with a mixture of heated oil, garlic, ginger, red chili, and various spices. The radish is eaten as a fresh salad, often seasoned with either salt and pepper or ''[[chaat masala]]''. In [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]] province, daikon is used to stuff pan-fried breads known as ''paratha''. Daikon's seed pods called ''moongray'' in local languages, are also eaten as a stir-fried dish across the country.

=== Bangladesh ===
In [[Bangladeshi cuisine|Bangladesh]], fresh daikon is often finely grated and mixed with fresh chili, [[coriander]], flaked steamed fish, lime juice, and salt. This light, refreshing preparation served alongside meals is known as ''mulo bhorta''.

=== Taiwan ===
In [[Taiwanese cuisine]], both the root and the stems/leaves of the daikon are consumed.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Tchea |first1=Michelle |title=From stir-fries and pies to pickles: White radish has you covered |url=https://www.sbs.com.au/food/article/2023/05/25/stir-fries-and-pies-pickles-white-radish-has-you-covered |website=sbs.com.au |publisher=SBS |access-date=1 June 2023}}</ref>

=== South Korea ===
In [[South Korea]], daikon radish is often used in [[kimchi]], a traditional  [[Fermentation|fermented]] dish. Kimchi is most commonly eaten as a side dish with [[rice]], among other dishes.

Raw daikon is 95% water, 4% [[carbohydrate]]s, and less than 1% each of [[protein (nutrient)|protein]] and [[fat]] (table). In a reference amount of {{convert|100|g}}, raw daikon supplies 18 [[calorie]]s and is a rich source (20% or more of the [[Daily Value]], DV) of [[vitamin C]] (24% DV), with no other [[micronutrient]]s in significant content (table).

== Agricultural use ==
Tillage radish leaves behind a cavity in the soil when the large [[taproot]] decays, making it easier for the following year's crops, such as potatoes, to bore deeper into the soil. Potatoes grown in a rotation with tillage radish do not experience growth restrictions associated with having a shallow [[hardpan]] soil, as the tillage radish can break the hardpan, making the transfer of water and other important nutrients much easier for the root system.<ref name="deltafarmpress.com">{{Cite web|url=http://deltafarmpress.com/management/tillage-radish-cover-crop-tips-maximize-its-benefits|title=Tillage radish cover crop - tips to maximize its benefits|website=deltafarmpress.com|date=15 September 2015|access-date=2016-12-01}}</ref>

Nutrient retention is another important feature of tillage radish. The large taproot is used to retain macro- and micro-nutrients that would otherwise have the potential to be lost to [[Leaching (agriculture)|leaching]] during the time when the field would otherwise be left empty. The nutrients from the root become readily available for the following year's crop upon the decay of the radish, which can boost yields and reduce fertilizer costs.<ref name="deltafarmpress.com"/>

Daikons are also used as a [[forage]] worldwide. As a forage, they also have the side benefit of [[weed control|weed suppression]]. Although used elsewhere for much longer, daikon as a forage is a recent introduction in [[Massachusetts]] field practice.<ref name="Jahanzad-et-al-2016" />

== Other use ==
Daikon is used in preparing metal surfaces for chemical patination, for example, under the [[Rokushō]] process.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sugimoro |first=Eitoku |date=2004 |title=The Foundation of Japanese Patinas |url=https://www.ganoksin.com/article/foundation-japanese-patinas/ |access-date=2023-02-26 |website=Ganoksin}}</ref>
