Radis

Le radis (rose) de Chine est le moins fort. Les radis noirs ou violets sont généralement plus gros et ont un goût plus prononcé.
Les gros radis doivent être consommés bien frais, fermes, non tachés ni ridés.

a.k.a. winter radish

Radish, Chinese ­­
Raphanus sativus L.1

The Chinese radish is also known as daikon, Japanese radish, Oriental radish, and winter radish. Chinese radish originated in the Orient, as did the common spring or summer radish. Chinese radishes have extremely large roots , some weighing up to 100 pounds. Most are in the 10-20 pound class at full maturity. These big, late maturing radishes were known in Europe much earlier than the smaller kinds. Chinese radishes grown in Florida vegetable garden soils often reach 20 or more pounds.
