We are excited to announce, we now sell premium quality radish seeds you can now grow at home.
Wild radish roots were eaten in ancient Egypt as far back as 2700 BC, with cultivated varieties appearing later. Alongside onions and garlic, they were often used for payment to workers. Now the humble reddish is a favoured vegetable to be added into hot and cold meals, and we are excited to announce we now sell premium quality radish seeds
Grown to maturity, the radish is an edible root vegetable which belongs to the Brassicaceae family which also includes garden favourites like mustard, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower.
Easy to grow:
Radish microgreens are one of the easiest microgreens to grow, making them a great choice for first-time home growers. Simply activate your seeds in water and they’ll begin to germinate almost immediately.
They’ll then grow very fast and usually be ready to harvest within just 3-5 days, using nothing more than a pair of kitchen scissors. Forget green thumbs – anyone can grow them!
Taste, texture and colour:
Just like the bulbs from their fully-grown siblings, radish microgreens have a distinctive peppery flavour and a wonderfully crunchy texture. (The taste is caused by the presence of colourless oils known as allyl isothiocyanates which are also found in mustard, horseradish, and wasabi.)
They can be easily added to everyday snacks, meals and salads, or try substituting radish microgreens for the leafy lettuce or spinach you might usually have on sandwiches for an extra zing of flavour.
Even better, Sydney Sprouts radish seeds are available in both green and purple varieties – allowing you to provide a splash of colour AND taste to your meals!
