Daikon
A long, white radish root with a refreshingly clean, peppery taste. Commonly used in salads
and side dishes, soups and stews. Frequently served in Oriental restaurants with fish or oily
dishes, since it is reputed to aid in the digestion of fat and protein, as well as helping the body
to assimilate oil. Also available in dried, shredded form to be used in various stews and
hearty vegetable dishes.

Dulse
Dried dulse is a rich, red color, is high in potassium and comes packaged in large, wrinkled
leaves. Its salty-rich taste makes it a great snack right out of the package. Since it is so
delicate, it actually requires little or no cooking, just a quick rinse to remove any debris on
the leaves. It adds great depth of flavor to hearty soups, stews and bean stews.
