Super speedy grower. Radishes are one of the fastest vegetables to grow, ready to harvest in just three to four weeks. That makes them perfect for impatient gardeners or anyone who wants fresh food quickly.

Whole plant is food. The round root is the crunchy part most people eat, but radish leaves are also delicious and nutritious as a leafy vegetable. Nothing goes to waste when you grow radishes.

Born in Asia. People first domesticated radishes in Asia thousands of years ago, and now they're grown and enjoyed in nearly every country on Earth. They're a truly global vegetable.

Mustard family member. Radishes belong to the Brassicaceae family, the same family as cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. This family is famous for producing super healthy vegetables.

Rainbow of colors. While many radishes are bright red or pink, they also come in white, black, purple, and yellow varieties. Each color variety has its own special flavor and crunch.
