Radish, Red Rat's Tail

50 days. Completely unique. The Red Rat’s Tail radish is praised for its many tender, crisp, purplish seed pods rather than its root. The plants are exceptionally easy to grow, and highly rewarding, too, producing oodles of lightly, spicy pods that can be compared to a pungent green bean! Pick pods when they are tender and young, about 5-6 inches long. They can be eaten raw, cooked or even pickled. A South Asian delicacy.
