However, supermarket daikon greens don't look very inviting, so I rarely use them unless I've managed to buy some "fresh from the field", from growers who try to use less pesticide.<BR/>Frankly, Japan does use a lot of pesticides, and with the climate warming up, tropical pests are moving north, so I don't expect to see a big move to organic. I agree that there are probably more pesticides on other greens, though I suppose daikon has a fairly long growing season...Dotmollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17764614264179494302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20000416.post-1135037611463928612005-12-19T16:13:00.000-08:002005-12-19T16:13:00.000-08:00Congratulations on your new blog!

I'm looking forward to reading more.<BR/><BR/>One question: one of my students doesn't cook daikon greens because she says there are too many pesticides on them. I wonder if there are really more than on other above-ground veggies like spinach, cabbage etc, so I don't worry about it too much.<BR/>Is this a concern for you? Do you buy organic?Blue Lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478501901570893287noreply@blogger.com
