{"product_id":"radish-chinese-shawo-fruit","title":"Radish Seeds, Chinese Shawo Fruit","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eRaphanus sativus\u003c\/em\u003e). Unique bright green radish from northern China with sweet flavor. Known in Beijing as a fruit radish, the sweet roots are crisp and sweet, considered a tasty fruit substitute similar in texture and taste to pear. Northern Chinese winters are notoriously harsh; these long cylindrical radishes sweeten up when exposed to frost. This variety is traditionally offered as a sliced fresh \"fruit\" at Beijing tea parties in wintertime. These opulent tea parties are thrown to celebrate the famous Beijing Opera. We also love this super sweet root as a wintertime snack. Grows well only in cool weather and is great for a fall planting only. Plant about 50 to 60 days before frost in the late summer. Beautiful green goodness!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chinese Shawo Fruit radishes grow best in well-drained, loose soil with plenty of sunlight. They are ideal for cooler growing conditions, ideally 50-75 F. Consistent moisture is crucial to prevent the radishes from becoming woody or developing a bitter taste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511109189918,"sku":"RD160","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/radish_chinese_shawo_fruit_1.jpg?v=1782395881","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/radish-chinese-shawo-fruit","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
