description

The Raphanus sativus 'Watermelon' radish is a fascinating organic variety that transforms the vegetable garden into a true scene of surprise, both for its beauty and its sweet flavor. Underneath its pale, discreet skin lies a vibrant pink heart, sometimes tinged with orange, instantly evoking the freshness of a watermelon sliced ​​in the garden. This variety, also known as 'Shinrimei', appeals to gardeners and cooks alike with its spectacular appearance and crunchy texture. Its flavor is sweet, slightly pungent, but delicate enough to please even those who shy away from more robust radishes. Grown primarily for fall harvests, it thrives in cool temperatures which promote the harmonious development of its roots and the quality of its flesh. Easy to integrate into a diversified vegetable garden, it also offers beautiful ornamental value thanks to its neat foliage and the colorful surprise it holds at harvest. Its good storage capacity allows you to prolong the pleasure long after harvesting, making it a vegetable that is as practical as it is original. Both decorative, flavorful and memorable, 'Watermelon' enriches the garden and the plate with a vibrant and refined touch.
