Crimson Giant Radish
|
The Radish Crimson Giant, 'Raphanus sativus', is as big as an apple with the same great mild flavor and crunchy texture of other spring radishes. This huge spring radish grows best during the cool periods of spring and fall. The Crimson Giant is mild flavored and is great eaten fresh, in salads, or in sandwiches. The flower pods are edible and they will grow in the shade. They can be grown inside if you have a big enough pot. Harvest when the radish is 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Bigger radishes get pithy and hot.
