Red Queen — a mid-season variety of Japanese radish with a vegetative period from sowing to maturity of about 50-60 days. The root crops have a round shape and weigh from 300 grams, sometimes reaching 0.8-1 kilogram. The outer skin is white-green in color, and the flesh varies from rich red to a light pink shade, characterized by high juiciness and tenderness, as well as high sugar content, which gives the radish a sweet taste without bitterness.
This variety of radish is distinguished by excellent marketability and resistance to cracking and the formation of cavities, which allows the root crops to maintain firmness and freshness for a long time. Red Queen radish is perfect for fresh consumption, especially in salads and other home dishes, as well as for short-term storage for 2-4 months while maintaining its taste qualities and attractive appearance.
Sowing seeds is recommended from mid-July to August, which provides optimal conditions for growing and obtaining a quality harvest. Due to its taste and decorative qualities, as well as high productivity, Red Queen radish is an excellent choice for both the fresh market and home use.
