Interesting question. I've never seen pickled ones in the store bought products. I think you can get pickled daikon, but it's a whole different animal.
How have you usually stored your radishes?
in my stomach just thought pickled radishes sounded good.I eat at least 5 a day because they protect your liver/kidneys

Sorry Jimi. I barely noticed the recipe at all. I really like raw radishes.
This is a 2.5 minute vid. She uses only a very little bit of sugar, and says you can leave it out.
Just what I was lookin for

REAL FARMS NOT FAKE FOOD
The FDA Just Approved CRISPR-Edited Pigs for the Dinner Table
Ed Cara writes for GIZMODO:“Who’s up for some CRISPR-y bacon? This week, the Food and Drug Administration approved gene-edited pigs developed by PIC, a biotechnology company specializing in livestock genetics, for human consumption.
The FDA granted the approval Wednesday, allowing a specific gene edit to be used in commercially bred pigs. With the help of CRISPR—a powerful gene editing tool—the UK-based company has created pigs resistant to one of the most common viral infections affecting swine worldwide. It will take a while longer for this GE pork to end up on our dinner plates, however.
The FDA has also previously approved other genetically modified animals to be safe for human consumption, such as salmon. But companies have historically struggled to clear the regulatory hurdles for approval or to gain a foothold in the commercial market once approved.”
Read how the company is seeking to secure approval in other major markets where pork is widely produced or imported
STOP AVOCADO-DRIVEN DEFORESTATION
One Down, Three To Go
Our case against West Pak Avocado is resolved!Organic Consumers Associations (“OCA”) and West Pak Avocado, Inc. have resolved a consumer protection lawsuit concerning the environmental and sustainability representations made on West Pak’s website. OCA believes that such representations mislead consumers because some of West Pak’s avocados are sourced from orchards that were installed on deforested land in Mexico and that contribute to water scarcity in the avocado growing regions of Mexico. West Pak denies OCA’s allegations and further denies that it has violated any state or federal laws. Nonetheless, West Pak has agreed as part of the resolution to, among other things, discontinue using the challenged marketing claims and to employ enhanced due diligence mechanisms to identify and stop sourcing from orchards in Mexico identified as existing on land that has been deforested since January 1, 2018.
Wish us luck in our cases against Calavo, Del Monte & Mission. They’re already having an impact. We should only eat California-grown organic avocados and Mexican-grown organic and fair trade avocados.
Fair trade distributor Equal Exchange is doing what U.S. and Mexican regulators and every avocado business should be doing. They’re refusing to sell avocados from recently deforested land. They have an anti-deforestation policy that excludes farms that have been in operation for less than five years.
Besides choosing what we eat more consciously, what else can we do?

What can citizens really do to save the bees?
By Hardly Kephart:
Sow native plants. The Xerces Society has a list of guidelines that make it easy.
Tear out your lawn. Many species of solitary bees require access to bare ground and cover for nesting, so a wall-to-wall green carpet prevents that. Wild mason bees love to nest in hollow tubes, and are encouraged by dried canes, such as raspberry, elderberry and snowberry.
View invasive plants as your mortal enemies and smite them with your righteous wrath. Flora such as: Himalayan blackberry, Scotch broom, Japanese knotweed, English ivy, pokeweed, gorse, tree of heaven…and many others. Native bees need native plants.
Avoid synthetic pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, especially those containing glyphosates (Roundup) and neonicotinoids. Neonics will appear on the label as acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam.”

COMPOST DAY: MAY 29
Is Your Compost Truly Organic?
Composting is the basis of organic farming, but the USDA Organic rules for what can be composted could definitely be improved.USDA Organic bans sewage sludge and that’s really important as toxic sewage sludge is the reason why so much farmland is contaminated with PFAS “forever chemicals.” If you’re buying bagged compost at a big-box store, make sure to avoid toxic sewage sludge by looking for the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) label.
But, the National Organic Program lets industrial “organic” operations like Driscoll’s fertilize their containerized plants with nutrients from corn and soybeans that have been genetically engineered to soak up herbicides or produce their own insecticides. And, manure and animal carcasses contaminated with antibiotics and other animal drugs are allowed in “organic” compost, too.
