Belonging to the large group of Asian daikon radishes , the mini daikon radish retains the slender shape of large white radishes while remaining modest in size. Its cylindrical root, generally white, forms quickly in well-loosened soil and offers a crisp flesh that integrates naturally into a harmonious garden, where sowing and harvesting follow the cycle of the seasons.

In the vegetable garden, this radish is well-suited to staggered sowings, allowing for small, regular harvests. Its presence is discreet above ground, with upright leaves typical of radishes, but beneath the fertile soil, it creates a precious, nourishing space at the heart of the garden. Cultivated with a respectful approach to soil and crop rotation, it contributes to the diversity of textures and flavors offered by a thriving garden.

Growing climate: Cool season
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Occasional
Growth: Rapid growth

Note: Like most radishes, it prefers cool temperatures and soil that does not dry out completely between waterings.

Daikon mini radishes are mostly eaten raw, in thin slices or crunchy sticks in salads, meal bowls or as a crunchy garnish.

Its elongated shape makes it ideal for julienne cutting to accompany Asian-inspired dishes. It can also be lightly marinated or lacto-fermented in small pieces to enhance vegetable or rice dishes. Grated, it adds a tangy and refreshing note to sauces and condiments, especially when served alongside fried or rich foods.

It can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator, in a closed container, to preserve its crispness.
