- ChristineVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/5/26Spicy kick to any salad
As described, this radish is spicy! A great veg to add to a salad if you want a bit of a unique kick, recommend peeling off the black skin to bring down the flavor intensity

The ones I grew turned out well. These are winter radishes, if you want them sweet and crisp, then grow them in cool weather. For me (zone 10) that is a late Summer/Fall planting; harvesting in Spring.
I grew these with some purple winter radishes last year. I am sure they crossed. I planted the seeds from those. Can't wait to taste how they turn out this week.

Grew this radish several times and did not enjoy it. I am a radish fanatic, I love them mild, spicy, long, globe, daikon, you name it…. I grow it en masse. This one though ….. the taste was not good. Bitter, especially the skins. I tried roasting them and they were still yuck. My family would not eat them so I will not plant again. If you are going to try them for novelty…. You might consider harvesting a little on the early side. These will really get woody and unpleasant if left too long. I’m talking “hard to cut” woody. I’ve attempted them twice in two seasons (spring/fall). Just not for us. :)

This variety did not bulb up for me when other varieties grown at the same time did unfortunately. They came up fast though.
