Actually, I'm not even sure 'how earth-radishes taste' ... maybe I've had them in salad-etc., but I don't think I can tell the difference between them & 'mini-potatoes' Anyway, maybe they say something about it in this article about astronauts eating the first space-radishes. https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2021/01/01/Astronauts-eat-first-radishes-grown-in-space-as-2020-ends/8791609439390/

I'm sure they taste just as good as earth radishes if not better.

Less polluted. There is no human poop or pee to change its flavor I suppose.

Maybe the same. Since we can't go to space to taste it, nor it's available here, then it's hard to tell. Then again I don't really like radish
