General Information: Tourne-Sol Black Crimson Winter Radish is a hardy, open-pollinated winter radish variety prized for its deep crimson-to-black skin and crisp, white flesh with a bold, spicy flavour. It is best grown for fall harvest, as cool temperatures enhance sweetness and reduce bitterness. This radish stores well in cool, humid conditions and is well suited to home gardens and market production where long-keeping root crops are valued.
