About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old winter radish with a raven black, rough skin and snow white, robustly pungent flesh. You sow it from July for the autumn harvest, because it needs time to form the round, fist sized roots. In cool, damp sand storage or an earth cellar it lasts through the winter and supplies you with fresh radish into spring. A robust, open pollinated variety for the classic storage garden.

Noticeably hotter and earthier than the summer radishes; shaved and salted it turns milder and goes well with hearty bread.
