Vegetable
Korean radish
Photo description: Three photos showing a squat, white cylindrical carrot-like vegetable with pockmarked skin and a top of rigid green stalks and a bottom that tapers into a root. Though the vegetable is mostly white colored, there is a gentle light green at the top of its body that eventually fades to all white halfway down its body.

Disambiguation
Compared to the daikon (or Japanese/Chinese radish), the Korean radish is a bit more short and wide, and usually features a shade of light green on its body that fades to white. In terms of taste it is also typically sweeter and has less of a spicy kick to it (when it's raw).
