Why Choose Radish Daikon Japanese Minowase?

• Impressive Size: Roots grow up to 24 inches long — one of the largest radish varieties available for home gardeners.
• Mild, Clean Flavor: Far milder than standard radishes — crisp and refreshing with none of the sharp bite of smaller varieties.
• Versatile in the Kitchen: Essential for Japanese, Korean, and Asian cooking — excellent raw, pickled, braised, or stir-fried.
• Excellent Keeper: Stores well for weeks in cool, humid conditions — great for fall harvests and root cellar storage.
• Soil Aerator: Deep roots break up compacted soil and improve drainage — valuable as a cover crop and garden bed prep tool.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years — save seeds year after year.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 hours per day for best root development.
• Soil: Deep, loose, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Till to at least 18 inches to allow the long roots to develop without obstruction.
• Planting: Direct sow ½ inch deep in early spring or late summer/fall. Best as a fall crop — flavor improves after light frost. Do not transplant.
• Spacing: Sow seeds 2–3 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches apart. Thin to 4–6 inches once established.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist — inconsistent watering causes cracking and pithy roots.
• Fertilizing: Apply low-nitrogen fertilizer at planting. Avoid high nitrogen which promotes foliage over root growth.
• Harvesting: Ready in approximately 60 days. Pull roots when 2–3 inches in diameter and before they become pithy. Loosen soil with a fork before pulling.
