Raphanus sativus

This popular open-pollinated white radish can grow quite large (2-6 pounds and 8-13 inches long!), yet tastes sweet and lightly spicy. 

Fabulous eaten fresh like a carrot or in salads, cooked alone or in soups, or pickled.

White Radishes are excellent for you! They are a low calorie fruit, with high water content and packed with vitamins and nutrients including vitamin C, calcium, folate, and potassium. Daikon also contains fiber and enzymes that aid digestion.

Radishes do store well, but be aware of drying out. 

Because of their size, Daikon Radishes are great at breaking up compact soil and are often used as a cover crop which will add nitrogen and other nutrients to your soil. 

Daikon Radishes are native to Southern and Eastern Asian countries and have been grown in Japan for 1300 years. Daikon in Japanese: Dai means "Big" or "great"; kon means "root" meaning: "Big root". In south asian countries it's often called mooli.

Planting Instructions: Radishes are generally very easy to grow. They are best when sown in spring or late summer but with care can be planted from February to September. Plant small amounts, 5 to 7 days apart for a steady supply.

Plant seeds directly outdoors as soon as soil can be worked. Plant ½ inch deep, ½ inch apart in rows at least 8 inches apart. Firm soil and keep moist until seedlings appear. Radishes have shallow root systems so do keep them watered.

Harvest as soon as roots reach desired size.
