Slices of Takuan daikon radish pickled
Takuan is a typical Japanese pickled vegetable. Although Japan produces a wide variety of fermented vegetables, takuan is considered the traditional staple food par excellence and is the most commonly eaten.
The daikon radish is harvested in winter on Honshu, Japan's largest island. It is washed in clear spring water and then dried. It is then pickled in large wooden barrels for a year in saltwater and rice bran. This preserves the full nutritional value of the fresh root and amylase, a starch-converting enzyme. Cooking daikon loses some of its nutritional value. Therefore, pickling is a valuable preparation method for reaping its full nutritional benefits.

Ingredients
Daikon radish, sea salt, SHOYU (contains SOY and WHEAT (gluten)), starch syrup (corn, sweet potato, BARLEY MALT (gluten)), water, rice vinegar
