Daikon Radish Seeds
Estimated delivery between Marzo 27 and Marzo 30.
Radish - Daikon (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus) is a mild-flavored, large white radish often used in Asian cuisines. Known for its crunchy texture and slightly spicy taste, Daikon radishes are versatile in the kitchen and easy to grow in a variety of climates.
Features:
Appearance: The Daikon radish is typically large, white, and cylindrical, with a smooth skin and crisp, white flesh. These radishes can grow from 6 inches to over a foot long, depending on growing conditions.
Flavor: Unlike smaller, more peppery radishes, Daikon has a milder, almost sweet flavor with a subtle spice, making it a refreshing addition to salads and dishes.
Texture: Daikon is known for its crunchy, firm texture that holds well in both raw and cooked forms, offering a great bite.
Uses:
Culinary: Daikon is highly versatile in cooking. It is often used in soups, stews, stir-fries, and salads. It can be pickled, grated for garnish, or used raw in dishes like sushi or salads. It’s also a common ingredient in kimchi and other fermented dishes.
Health Benefits: Daikon is a low-calorie vegetable rich in fiber, vitamin C, and enzymes that help with digestion. It's known for its detoxifying properties and can promote a healthy digestive system.
Planting Instructions:
Soil: Daikon thrives in well-drained, loose soil that allows its long roots to grow without obstruction. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter for optimal growth.
Planting Time: Plant Daikon in the early spring or fall, when temperatures are cool, as it grows best in these conditions. Opt for planting between 50 °F to 75 °F (10 °C to 24 °C).
Spacing: Space the seeds 2-3 inches apart in rows that are at least 12 inches apart to give the roots ample space to develop. Thin seedlings to ensure proper growth of individual radishes.
Growing Instructions:
Sunlight: Daikon requires full sun for at least 6 hours per day to grow properly. More sunlight will promote larger and more flavorful radishes.
Watering: Daikon needs consistent moisture throughout its growing cycle. Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering, as waterlogged soil can result in rot or undesirable root shapes.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and, if needed, once more mid-season to keep the plants healthy and boost root growth. Ensure a well-draining soil texture.
