They’re a root vegetable and member of the Brassica family, which also includes arugula, broccoli, and cabbage.  Watermelon radishes are edible globular roots attached to thin stems and wavy green leaves.  The fruit, root, and leaves of the watermelon radish provide an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, and other nutrients, particularly when eaten raw.
