Description

Radish 'Black Spanish' (Raphanus sativus var. niger), dating back to the 16th century, is a renowned open-pollinated winter heirloom prized for its remarkable storage ability, robust texture, and sharp, spicy flavor. The plant produces large, globe-shaped roots measuring 3 to 4 inches in diameter with a distinctive rough, coal-black skin. Beneath the dark exterior lies crisp, solid, bright white flesh that delivers a bold, peppery kick. Highly cold-hardy, Black Spanish radishes thrive during cool autumn weather and can be harvested late into the season, making them an essential staple for winter root cellars, roasting, pickling, or adding a vibrant bite to fresh winter salads.
