Radish, Purple
Raphanus sativus var. sativa
An exceptional radish in terms of color. However, its crunchy texture has nothing to envy of classic radishes.
It's best eaten raw, sliced thinly like a carpaccio, with just a drizzle of olive oil and a little salt.
Growing instructions
Sow from March to April and from August to September in rows 10 cm apart. Ensure consistent moisture and keep soil loose. Elder leaf mulch helps repel flea beetles. Harvest continuously. Radishes do great intercropped with other vegetables.
