Radish Microgreens

Microgreen

Raphanus sativus

Overview
Radish microgreens are young radish plants harvested at 10-14 days of growth, featuring delicate green shoots with characteristic pink or reddish cotyledons (seed leaves). Ready to harvest in approximately 30 days from planting, they deliver an intense, peppery spice that ranges from mild to fiercely hot depending on variety and growing conditions. These heirloom microgreens add vibrant color and bold peppery crunch to salads, sandwiches, soups, and garnishes. Their spicy profile makes them ideal for Asian cuisine and adds complexity to bland dishes. Easy to grow under moderate to bright light with minimal pest pressure, radish microgreens are popular among home and commercial growers seeking quick harvests with maximum flavor impact.
