radishes
SayRAD-ish-izUS/ˈɹæd.ɪʃ.ɪz/UK/ˈɹad.ɪʃ.ɪz/
- 1Plural of radish.
The market stall sold bunches of bright red radishes all morning.

Note
The -es here is the ending English gives nouns that close on a hushing sound, as radish does with -sh, so the plural gains a full syllable: rad-ish-es. Radish also works as a mass noun, so this plural belongs to countable roots (a bunch of radishes). When the vegetable is treated as a substance, the word stays singular: a little grated radish over the salad.
