　　Xiaoxi Crimson Radish is a specialty of Xiaoxi Town, Guang’an District, Guang’an City, Sichuan Province.

　　The product is characterized by its bright red color, which is vivid both inside and out. When washed and eaten raw, it is tender and sweet; when used for pickling vegetables, it remains exceptionally crisp, and the brine turns blood-red; when processed into preserved mustard tuber, it gives off a fragrant aroma.
