What does DAIKON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, mild white radish with a long, thick root, widely grown in East Asia.
Daikon is the Japanese name for the long white radish that is grated into dipping sauces, pickled, simmered in stews or cut into thin ribbons for salads. Its flesh is crisp and much gentler in flavour than the small red radishes of Western gardens. The word comes straight from Japanese, where it means "large root", and it is now printed on the labels of ordinary supermarkets.
