There is a saying that "radishes are on the market, and doctors have nothing to do". Lingkou dried radish is a well-known local product in Danyang, and its production technology has been recognized as a local intangible cultural heritage. It is salty, sweet, crisp and tender, fragrant, and can not be stored for a long time. Regular eating can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, stimulate appetite, and help digestion. It is a good accompaniment to porridge. In 1930s, Lingkou dried turnips became famous far and wide.
