About

This is a great variety of Daikon radish, also known as Mooli, for sowing in July and August producing long bright white roots which are crunchy and delicious. Its roots can grow huge - up to 3 inches in diameter! It is not too hot and stays very sweet and crunchy. It's best left in the ground until needed. We have some disagreement on the best way to eat daikons; Fred likes to eat it raw and Ronja's favourite way is to eat it fermented or pickled. Try both and see what works best for you! (Approximate seed count - 150)
