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.
