Nero Tondo

Radish Seeds

(OP) 50 days

Nero Tondo, which translates from Italian to "round black", is an heirloom Spanish radish with a matte black exterior and dense, crunchy white interior flesh. Large, round, 2-4 in. roots have a pungent, spicy flavor reminiscent of horseradish that turns mild and sweet when cooked. Nero Tondo radishes are slow to bolt in hot weather; and are also very cold tolerant. Seeds can be sown in the fall to overwinter for a spring harvest, or sow in spring for summer and fall harvests. For centuries, black radishes have been touted to have multiple healing properties for the liver and respiratory tract.
