German Giant Radish Plant

German Giant is an heirloom variety 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.

We grow our German Giant Radish Plants organically and guarantee them to arrive alive and thriving!
