Overview
Hong Vit is an Asian leaf radish, grown for its foliage rather than its small, unusable roots. Plants are upright and quick, with lobed leaves that are almost free of hairs and carry pink stems, tasting mildly of radish. Cut at baby size or let them fill out, then use in soups, salads or a quick stir-fry. It is sometimes confused with rattail radish but is a different thing.
