Rat's Tail Radish Seeds - Asian Vegetable

You can use 'Rat's Tail' radish any way you'd use round, red radishes. They're also nice tossed into stir-fries, stews or any cooked dish that could use a little kick. They lose some of their pungency when cooked, but remain crunchy. The pods are also great pickled. While most radishes are harvested as edible root vegetables, the unique rat-tail radish is grown for its crispy and mildly peppery flavored pods that grow off the stem of the plant. The mature and ready to eat pods look just like a green or purple rat’s tail, which is how they got that funny name. Rat-tail radishes have been a staple for many gardeners throughout time. They are indigenous to Southern portions of Asia, and they are a versatile plant. Their adaptability has allowed them to be enjoyed in regions from the tropics all the way up to some rather chilly locations in the North. Variety,From Asia. .
