HEIRLOOM If we are what we eat, let’s be this beautiful! We just love these massive, crisp and marvelously juicy watermelon radishes, so sweet without any radish heat.

Harvested before a hard frost and stored well, watermelon radishes are easily enjoyed all winter in curries, soups, roasted and grated fresh as salad and slaw! We also ferment Organic Watermelon Radish in our kimchi each autumn.

Real talk on winter storage roots: Grow Watermelon radish for color; grow Noir Long turnip for flavor!

Organic Watermelon Radish

60 days to harvest Raphanus sativus

Description

HEIRLOOM If we are what we eat, let’s be this beautiful! We just love these massive, crisp and marvelously juicy watermelon radishes, so sweet without any radish heat.

Organic Watermelon Radish is a fall radish, growing sweeter as they mature into the cool of autumn. Sowing them two months before your fall frost date is the key; at Fruition, we direct sow our watermelon radish in early August.
