About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The classic Bavarian beer radish, which you slice thinly, salt and serve with a cold platter. The long white roots grow up to 30 cm long and taste robustly hot and spicy. You sow it from mid June for the summer and autumn harvest, because sown earlier it bolts easily. An undemanding, dependable old variety for any home garden.
Robustly hot and juicy; salted it turns milder and draws water, exactly right alongside a litre of beer.
