| Scientific Name | Raphanus sativus |
| Growing Days | 45-60 |
| Varieties We Grow | Japanese Minowase |
| Growing Notes | Daikon radish are pretty self sufficient (hurray!); once seeded, they pretty much take care of themselves. It’s a good idea to thin the seedlings so they don’t compete. |
| Battle of the Bugs | These guys are pretty hardy and we’ve had pretty good luck avoiding serious damage, at least so far! |
| Fun Fact | Daikon radish is also called “tillage radish” because it grows so deep (over 12″!) and helps to break up soil. We do that here at Trippy Acres! |
| Don’t Waste It! | Eat it raw, steamed, or sauteed. No need to peel unless you want to. The greens (and seed pods) are also edible! |
