I wouldn't necesarily call it a "root vegetable" as the ball rests on the
ground. I always thought it tasted like a really mild cabbage heart, though I
can see how you might describe it as radish-like. I wonder if that is caused
by different growing conditions?
I like it in salads, soups, stir frys, basically anywhere you want cabbage
flavor but not wilted leaves.
