It’s like $1-$3 dollars a pound?

Go to Mom's. You can find smaller sized ones. They must have done this knowing shoppers break it off.

I think someone else will buy it, just as I have, and prefer to buy, the smallest daikon available.


I would never buy half broken daikon.

picked up, squeezed, and put back down INTACT.

No, this is not okay. Holy crap. Do you break chocolate bars in half and put the rest back, too?
