Wild forms of the radish and its relatives, the mustards and turnip, can be found all over west Asia and Europe, suggesting that they were domesticated somewhere in that region. Radishes, onions, and garlic were paid as wages to the Ancient Egyptian laborers who built the pyramids.
The Chinese grew radishes as early as 700 B.C. and introduced them to Japan, where they are the most popular vegetable. The Greeks and Romans preferred their radishes big-up to 100 pounds each-grown for winter storage and served with honey and vinegar.
Radishes were not widely grown in Britain until Elizabethan times, when they were eaten as an appetizer. The early settlers took them to America where they ate them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thomas Jefferson, an avid gardener, recorded his planting of radishes, along with broccoli, lettuce, and cauliflower on May 27, 1767.
