(Raphanus sativus) We do tend to drift toward the unusual, but there is something entirely satisfying about a classic look done well. Very uniform and high-quality red round radishes with good heat tolerance and low incidence of sponginess as they increase in size. After years of growing mixed-color bunches for the market, Sora was surprisingly and simply beautiful. Crispy with medium heat, depending on when in the season their grown. Great results in Spring, Summer, and Fall. Crunch crunch...
