Daikon is a widely used root vegetable in Japanese cooking. A type of winter vegetable, daikon is characterized by its long white root and green leaves on top, resembling a pale chunky carrot. The root vegetable goes by many names, including Asian radish, Chinese radish, white radish, mooli, and so on as there are different varieties of daikon being cultivated in the different regions. Valued for its health nutrition, it is not only enjoyed by the Japanese, but also a favorite vegetable in Chinese, Korean, and other Southeast Asian cooking.

Rajah was founded back in 1931 when a former Indian army officer yearned for home cooked food in London and realised there was a market for this. He opened up a small shop called Bombay Emporium and began importing high quality spices from India to London. Initially, the store sold whole and ground Indian spices but as the UK Asian population grew and the nation’s appetite for Asian food expanded, other products were introduced such as seasonings, curry pastes, chutneys, pickles, and poppadums. Aptly named ‘Rajah’ spices, these palette-pleasing masalas began to rule South Asian kitchens and hearts in the UK from that moment on.
