[edit] Daikon beans

heya Daikon fans, what's up?!?!?!?

you know, I gotta ask, does anyone out there know if you can eat the daikon beans? they look just like sweet peas or soybeans, and I was wondering if they're any good. -Jiesen- July 2004

• Um, to the best of my knowledge, Daikon has no beans. Where did you get that info from? -- Chris 73 | Talk 06:37, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I was looking at a daikon plant, and saw the beans on it. I want to know if they're edible. At least I assume it's a daikon plant, because I was told that that's what it was. -Jiesen- July 2004

They are seeds, and they are not eaten. —Tokek 2 July 2005 05:57 (UTC)

I think most beans are, aren't they? The daikon seed pods do look just like beans, but I've never heard of anyone eating them. --DannyWilde 05:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

The pods are eaten, sometimes as pickles, just not often. [1] -- WormRunner | [[User talk:WormRunner|Talk]] 05:38, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, thanks for clearing that up for me WormRunner. Next time I see a daikon seed pod, I'm going to pickle it, then eat it. -Jiesen- 3:55 pm Pacific, July 21 2006.

[edit] China

The article is in the category Chinese cuisine, but makes no reference to China. Burschik 16:22, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Indeed, this is one of the essential Chinese vegetables, but no Chinese information.

I will try to add something

Pekinensis 00:42, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm all for more Chinese cuisine content here, as long as it's actually about daikon and not some related plant that isn't the same radish. —Tokek 2 July 2005 09:15 (UTC)

[edit] Mouli

One sometimes sees "mouli" mentioned in Tibetan recipes -- I believe that this is "daikon" ("mouli leaves" = "daikon greens"). However, Google seems to show more hits for mouli as a Japanese vegetable. Can anybody sort this out? -- 200.141.232.227 01:29, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
