Its red skin peels easily, revealing a fine and particularly sweet flesh, ideal for eating raw or lightly steamed. Appreciated for its sweet and delicate flavor, this variety is perfect for adding color and taste to dishes.

"Cylindra" prefers well-drained soil and a sunny location. To obtain well-formed roots, regular watering is essential, especially in dry periods, to prevent the roots from becoming deformed or cracked. Very productive, it offers an early harvest about 55 days after sowing, making it an ideal option for amateur gardeners wishing to grow an easy and tasty variety.
