My Mum has just come back from Sweden and she says they add a sprouting seed to their salads that she says was radish although does not sound like it to me. It looked a bit like a beansprout but tasted a bit hot and was crunchy, about an inch long and white with a little yellow or green 'ball' on the end.

Any ideas as to what this could be?

It could very well be fenugreek. Are the seeds a little bit triangular?

It could well be radish, or broccoli. Apparently sprouted brassica seeds are nice and peppery, and look just like a small beansprout! I have bought some, and a sprouting jar, but haven't got round to 'sprouting' any just yet!

thanks for the replies.
The seeds are not triangular so I think maybe it is sprouted radish as they are a peppery.
I will have to give it a go
Thanks
:D
