Black Dirt Region Local Easter Egg Radish

Peppery, hot and zippy, the easter egg radish is as flavorful as it is colorful. We love them raw, with just a sprinkle of salt. The Black Dirt Region, spanning southern Orange County, New York and northern Sussex County, New Jersey, is home to family-owned farms situated on thousands of acres of deep, richly organic soil — the result of ancient glaciers melting, river overflow and plant decay. The lush valley is best known for its production of the prized "black-dirt onion," as well as other root vegetables.
