Radish Seeds – Daikon, Japanese Minowase

Description

Raphanus sativus

HEIRLOOM. Daikon radishes are notably larger than other radishes. In fact, notably is an understatement! This satisfyingly giant japanese radish grows up to 24 inches long and about three inches wide. White colored and slightly sweet, these radishes shine raw, pickled, or stir-fried. These culinary delights are the same species as the popular cover crop (see Nitro Radish) and can also aerate your soil and redistribute nutrients with its deep tap roots. 

Minowase daikon radishes are commonly used in asian cooking. Pickled daikons have a tangy, sweet, and satisfyingly crunchy flavor. Alternatively, daikons that are slowly simmered in soups add an earthy flavor to the broth while offering a sweet vegetable to the palate. You can also grate your daikons and use them as you would horseradish. 

Minimum 120 seeds per packet.
