Current Facts
The watermelon radish is not a super radish hybrid, rather an heirloom Chinese Daikon. This variety grows best in cool climates, suitable for fall/winter crops. Plants may go into early flowering and fail to form round radishes in warm weather conditions.
Description/Taste
Watermelon radishes are pale green on the outside morphing to a beautiful magenta on the inside, ranging in size from golf ball to soft ball. The flesh is crispy with a mild, almost sweet flavor.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
The watermelon radish is also known as Shinrimei. Shinrimei (Shin-Ri-Mei, in Chinese) means "Beauty-In-The-Heart", to reflect the beautiful red flesh of this radish.
