‘Green Luobo’ mild winter radish

An amazing heirloom from northern China: a mild winter radish, that has bright green flesh and a green/white skin. We only have a few packets each year as seed is really hard to get hold of.

Do not sow in Spring as it will just run to flower when the days get hotter. Sow after midsummer.

Use it in salads, or cooked as a winter radish.

120 seed, organic. £2.77

‘Red Flesh’ Mild Tricolour Winter Radish

This is a beautiful winter radish which is really very mild - mild enough to use use raw in salads, or as a side-vegetable in its own right. The flesh has this amazing red-purple centre, which shades out to the bright green outer layer, and then an almost white skin; we cut it in thin slices and spread them out on a plate as you would serve carrot sticks or cucumber. Sow in late spring or summer: it withstands cold weather, standing well in the ground without damage.

Dual-purpose - use it in salads, or cooked as a winter radish.

Black Round Winter Radish

Please set aside any preconceptions you may have about 'radishes' - this is a large root vegetable that grows up to tennis-ball size, and keeps in the ground overwinter for you to pull up and use in soups, stews and stir-fries.

Although 'hot' when raw, that is not how it is used. The radish-heat disappears completely as soon as it is cooked, with a mild flavour that goes with almost everything.

We like it both in stir-fries, and also used like turnip or swede in soups and stews. What we don't understand is why everyone doesn't grow this sort of radish all the time!

Large cooking radish, grows to tennis-ball size. Incredibly easy to grow, just sow in July or later, for pulling up all winter.
