mooli is which type of vegetable?!
Answers:
Radish
Mooli is a variety of East Asian giant radish daikon, a large root.
There is no such thing as a vegetable. The FDA lies. In botany, there is no categorization of anything known as a vegetable. The word ''vegetable'' is a made-up word. in fact. the word has no botanical meaning. The edible plants and parts of the plant that some people call vegetables are actually botanically-speaking herbaceous plants. Those edible fruiting bodies are actually either fungi, stems, stalk, leaves, roots, bulbs, tubers, etc. The U.S. is the only government on this planet that recognizes such things as "vegetables.'' The reason why the gov't does this is for the purposes of the 1883 Tariff Act (reduced high tariff rates only marginally, and left in place fairly strong protectionist barriers. The court ruled unanimously in Nix v. Hedden that a tomato is correctly identified as, and thus taxed as, a vegetable, for the purposes of the 1883 Tariff Act on imported produce. Overall, the reason(s) why is only about the economics, but never about the scientific facts.
"Mooli" is a Diakon Radish commonly grown in South Asian. It is an edible elongated smooth white root. So among various types of vegetables, it belongs to the root vegetable classification. Goes by the biological name "Raphanus sativus" and belonging to the "Brassicaceae" or "Cruciferae" family under the "Plantae" kingdom.
