Minowase Daikon radish seeds

Enough cannot be said about this classic Japanese heirloom. Minowase radish (a.k.a. daikon radish) has been used for centuries in Japanese cuisine. It's often used in soup stocks, grated for garnish or in ponzu, eaten raw in salads, etc. Even the greens are can be used in soups and stir-fries. The root is thick, sweet, and crispy, a drastic contrast from western radishes. Aside from its numerous culinary uses, it also has other practical uses. 
 
Daikon can be planted and used to break up hard, compacted soil. As the root grows, it becomes extremely firm and capable of breaking up even the toughest soil. You can harvest it early for consumption, or leave it growing to assist the soil. By the time it's broken up the soil, it's usually too fibrous to be edible. 
 
These radishes can grow up to 18 inches long. These will need to be thinned out to make sure there is enough underground real estate for the roots to grow and expand. When you thin them out, you will have a lot of unused sprouts, these are edible.
