Raphanus sativus. USDA organic. Cool season. 60 days. Sow in midsummer for fall or early winter harvest. Heirloom. An exciting addition to salad or stir-fry, this huge Japanese radish is crisp and flavorful, yet mild. Quite different from round, red radishes. Young shredded daikon radishes are often used in sushi, but their light, crunchy, slightly spicy flavor is a unique addition to many other dishes. Mature daikon is pickled or cooked; add to stir-fries or soups. Daikon is a winter radish requiring a longer time to develop than spring radishes, shortening day length to trigger root growth, and cool temperatures to mature the edible root. To grow successfully, sow in mid-to late summer or early fall. This packet sows three 5-foot rows. More info inside. We are dedicated to inspiring & educating the gardener in you.
