Crimson Giant Radish

The Crimson Giant is a larger and rounder type of radish and the radish part can grow as big as an apple! There flavor is a sweeter yet mild taste compared to most radishes and there real name is raphanus sativus. The crimson giant can grow to 4-6 inches tall and need need full sunlight. It takes about 30 days to grow. It spreads so you probably will have a lot of them in your garden. They taste best in sandwiches and salads. They're color could be red or white so don't be surprised if you get a white radish. These radishes are a harder type of radish so they give you a good crunch in your dishes. The crimson giant is rich in vitamin C and is a fairly healthy type of radish. One good feature about the crimson radish is that it can grow well inside but it won't be as big as usual.
