Radishes aka Potatoes. Or…in my keto~lowcarb diabetic world…potatoes. Since going lowcarb and after having been diagnosed as diabetic 12 years ago, I have been using daikon and red radishes as my potato substitute with spectacular results and I am sharing them all below. Never could there have been a more well designed vegetable than the Daikon Radish, not only for you low-carbers but especially for all you diabetics. They can be used and cut in so many ways it’s not even funny. In stews, as French fries, in casseroles, in soups, in salads, pickled, desserts,…hope you are getting the idea. There is no way, after eating these, that you should miss potatoes eating Keto-LowCarb, and the absolute best thing about using daikon radishes in place of potatoes is that they take on any flavor you want them to. Savory yep, sweet yep, sour yep, that too. As you look at the pics & recipes notice how diverse & different they are. I am going to bet you will find a million ways to use the low carb daikon radish. There are more…whatever you can imagine. Below are many of the recipes on the site using the wonderful low carb daikon radish. So no matter which radish you choose either a daikon or red, they work equally well. They nearly all need to be parboiled just like any potato and instructions are included in the recipes.
