250 Seeds Watermelon Radish Raphanus sativus Heirloom Root Vegetable

Watermelon radish is a striking heirloom root vegetable known for its round shape and vivid interior. The skin is pale green to white, while the flesh ranges from bright pink to magenta, creating a beautiful contrast when sliced. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor and crisp texture make it a favorite for fresh eating and pickling.

This radish is excellent for salads, slaws, and decorative garnishes, and it also holds up well when roasted or pickled. Roots typically mature in about 50 to 60 days and can be harvested at 2 to 4 inches across for best texture. Grow in cool weather for the mildest flavor and most vibrant color.
