Daikon Radish (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus), also known as Japanese Minowase Radish, is a popular heirloom variety known for its impressive size, crisp texture, and mild, slightly sweet flavor. These long, white roots can grow up to 18 inches in length and 2–3 inches in diameter, making them a favorite for slicing, pickling, and cooking. Their crunchy, juicy flesh is perfect for fresh salads, fermented dishes, and traditional Asian cuisine. Ideal for fall and winter gardens, Daikon radishes thrive in cool weather and are valued for their high yield and adaptability.

Growing Instructions

Direct-sow Daikon Radish seeds in late summer to early fall for best results, as they thrive in cool temperatures. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart in loose, well-drained soil. Thin seedlings to 4–6 inches apart to allow roots to develop fully. Keep soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Harvest roots when they reach 12–18 inches in length or about 2–3 inches in diameter for optimal tenderness and flavor. Avoid leaving them in the ground too long, as they can become woody.
