Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus

Daikon is a traditional Asian radish producing long, cylindrical roots with crisp white flesh and a mild, slightly pungent flavour. Best harvested while young and tender, it is delicious eaten fresh in salads, slaws and sandwiches, pickled, or cooked in stir-fries, soups and a wide range of Asian dishes. It is also widely grown as a cover crop, where its vigorous roots help improve soil structure and reduce compaction.

Planting / Sowing

Sow seed directly into loose, well-drained soil, covering with 10–15 mm of soil. Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm apart to allow the long roots to develop fully. Keep the soil evenly moist throughout growth. Harvest after approximately 65 days, or earlier for smaller, more tender roots with the mildest flavour.
