description

The Raphanus sativus ‘Shunkyo’ radish is an organic variety that is as charming as it is flavorful, appreciated for its elongated, brilliantly vivid pink roots and delightfully crisp texture. In the garden, it adds a touch of bright color from the very first harvests, while taking up little space and easily fitting in among other vegetables in the kitchen garden. Its white, firm, and juicy flesh offers a mild flavor with a slight spicy note, ideal for those seeking a balanced and pleasant radish to enjoy raw. Its rapid growth and good tolerance to bolting allow for an extended harvest period, making it a highly valued variety for successive sowings. Easy to cultivate in fresh, well-drained soil, it thrives equally well in full sun or light partial shade, offering great flexibility to the gardener. Its neat foliage and elegant root almost resemble a small colorful carrot, adding to the visual pleasure of the harvest. We especially love to crunch it fresh from the ground or add it to salads and fresh dishes to introduce a vibrant and refined note. Productive, colorful, and full of freshness, ‘Shunkyo’ is a choice radish to enrich the kitchen garden with simplicity and brilliance.
