The 'Violet Queen' radish variety is a medium early variety with a growing period of 30-35 days. The root crops of this variety are round, dense and have an intense purple skin color that gives them an attractive appearance. The pulp of the radish is snow white, juicy and crispy, with moderate pungency, which makes the taste of the root vegetables very delicate and pleasant. In some specimens, the pulp at the cut may have a violet tint, indicating a high content of anthocyanins - natural antioxidants beneficial for health.
The variety has good yield capacity reaching 2.0-2.5 kg per square meter. The average weight of one root crop is about 35 grams, although descriptions mention data on a mass of 15-20 grams. Radish stores well; however, during long-term storage, the pulp may become fibrous and the taste - more pungent and peppery. Despite this, the variety retains its taste qualities for quite some time, which makes it convenient to use in various culinary purposes.
'Violet Queen' is valued for its excellent taste and attractive appearance. However, the variety does not have resistance to bolting, so requires timely harvesting of crops. Thanks to juicy and crispy pulp as well as an intense color, this radish will be a bright and healthy addition to fresh salads and other dishes, giving them originality and benefits due to the content of antioxidants.
