About

Large round winter radish with thick black skin and white flesh. This radish is an old variety that is easy to grow and makes an excellent winter vegetable. It is larger than the standard radish with a spicy taste and crisp texture. It's great eaten raw in salads or cooked in a stew, stir-fry or used like a turnip. It's a reliable and robust radish that will keep throughout the winter outside or in storage, staying tender and without getting woody. Sow thickly in July or August and thing out for small early harvests. (Approximate seed count - 250)
