Raphanus Sativus

BUT WE TALK

Radish

DID YOU KNOW?

In Greek, Raphanus means “quickly appearing” and it fits perfectly for the fast sprouting of the Radish plant which can last a mere 3 days. Due to the lack of archeological evidence, no one knows for sure where radish is native to, but economic botanist Daniel Zohary believes it originated in West Asia and Europe.

 

Radishes have numerous varieties consisting of many colors including red, pink, white, grey, and yellow; sizes, and durations of cultivation time. The bulb of the radish is often eaten raw or steamed to soften it up.
