Description

(Raphanus sativus). First noted as early as 1770, these uniquely shaped old-time radishes disguise themselves as a carrot. As bright as a buttercup, these are the most brilliant yellow-skinned radishes we have ever seen. Once a widespread and popular crop in the Austro-Hungarian empire, these golden yellow beauties are now rare treasures. A culinary marvel, it has a soft mellow flavor when raw and pairs perfectly for pickling and fermenting into krauts and kimchis. In Hungary, they’re often simmered into stews like Lecsó, a tomato and pepper casserole spiced with paprika.

Growing Tips: Lutea Carrot radishes prefer loose, fertile soil that allows their roots to develop straight and smooth. Regular, even watering helps prevent cracking and improves texture. Thin seedlings early to avoid crowding and promote optimal root growth for uniform harvests.

How to Grow
