produce of unusual size

[cellio]

Since our CSA didn't do a winter share this year, we signed up with Imperfect Foods to see if it delivered better produce value than the local grocery store. They take stuff that isn't "pretty" enough for grocery stores and try to make use of it, so your carrots might be huge, your sweet potatoes might be cracked, and your peppers might be misshapen, but who cares? I'm pretty satisfied so far; you get to pick what's in your box and the quality is decent.

Sometimes there are surprises. Pop quiz: which of these items is of unusual size, the mini watermelon or the "purple" daikon radish?

Trick question: it's both. Here they are again with a reference avocado (which is of normal size):

I don't have a kitchen scale, but that radish has to be at least a pound. That is not what I was expecting.

It was tasty chopped and roasted with olive oil and some sea salt and shared with guests.
