German Giant Radish Plant

German Giant is an heirloom radish that produces baseball-size roots with a mild, crunchy flavor that never gets woody. These very attractive and nutritious roots are best used fresh. They make great additions to salads or relish trays. Radishes offer cancer fighting anti-oxidants, along with vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.
