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.
