The Watermelon Radish, also known as Rooseheart or Red Meat, is an heirloom variety of the Daikon radish originating from China. This vibrant radish features a striking exterior with creamy white and pale green tones and a bright magenta pink center, making it as visually appealing as it is flavorful.
🌞 Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in cooler climates with soil temperatures below 68°F (20°C).
🌱 Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil that is loose and rich in organic matter.
💧 Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Overly warm soil can make the radish bitter.
🧑🌾 Planting Depth: Sow seeds about 1/2 inch (1 cm) deep in loose soil.
🌿 Harvesting: Can be harvested once they reach golf ball to softball size. Best harvested before the temperature gets too hot.
Vibrant Appearance: The pink-to-magenta flesh inside, with creamy white and green exteriors, gives it its watermelon-like look.
Mild Flavor: Slightly peppery with a touch of sweetness, it’s perfect for fresh salads, cooking, and pickling.
Versatile: Enjoy raw, in salads, or cooked in a variety of dishes. Pairs well with cheese, fruits, vinegar-based dressings, bacon, and more.
Raw in Salads: Its crisp, tender texture makes it an ideal addition to fresh salads.
Pickled Delights: Great for pickling, like in the Sweet Pickled Onion and Watermelon Radish Salad.
Pairs Well With: Fennel, apples, cheeses like feta and chèvre, citrus, cucumbers, cooked eggs, noodles (soba, udon), bacon, and cilantro.
