Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical Name: Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus
Seed Quantity: 10 high quality seeds
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Annual root vegetable, with a relatively rapid growth cycle.
Average Plant Height: The foliage reaches about 30-60 cm; the root can develop up to 20-40 cm in length and 5-10 cm in diameter.
Uses: Extremely versatile in the kitchen; excellent raw in salads for its crunchiness and spicy flavor, but also excellent cooked in soups, stews, stir-fried, or made into pickles (tsukemono). Traditionally prized for its digestive properties.
Organoleptic Characteristics: Elongated, cylindrical root, pure white in color, with firm, crunchy flesh. The flavor is characteristically spicy, but less intense than that of European radishes, with a slightly sweet and refreshing note.
Resistance and Origin: Robust variety, originally from East Asia, well adaptable to different climates if grown in the appropriate seasons.
Recommended Sowing Period: For autumn-winter harvest, sowing is recommended from late summer (August-September) to early autumn. For areas with cool summers, spring sowing is also possible. Avoid periods of extreme heat to prevent early flowering.
Harvest Period: Generally between 60 and 70 days from sowing, when the roots have reached an adequate size.
Optimal Conditions for Germination: The ideal soil temperature for germination is between 10°C and 25°C.
Soil Type: Prefers deep, loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH. Avoid compacted soils that can hinder root development.
Recommended Exposure: Full sun for at least 6 hours a day, but also tolerates light partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
Germination Time: Under optimal conditions, seeds germinate in 5-10 days.
Pot or Ground Cultivation: Ideal for open ground, where the roots can develop freely. It can also be grown in very deep pots or containers (at least 40-50 cm deep) to allow for full root growth.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (non-genetically modified) seeds, selected to ensure high germination and varietal purity.
