No Matter What You Think, Radishes Aren't Actually Spicy

The radish is an entirely objectionable vegetable. It provides almost no energy, has the density of a marble, and tastes like pepper spray. The radish is eye-wateringly spicy every time you bite into it. But when you don't bite into it, it isn't spicy. And no, that's not semantics. The radish itself doesn't contain capsaicin, or any other spicy molecule. If left alone, it's completely bland.
