New Seed Alert! Yellow Carrot-Shaped Radishes! Tasty radishes with yellow skin and a crisp, white interior as well as tasty, hairless greens! Yellow radishes are fairly uncommon, and more often, people are familiar with round yellow radishes like Zlata in Poland, or Jaune Hatif in France. This longer, carrot-shaped variety comes to us from Bartram's Garden (@bartramsgarden), who received the seed from William Woys Weaver (@roughwoodseeds), who in turn was given seeds by Alzbeta Kovacova-Pecarova, a seed saver in Kosice, Slovakia. Will Weaver says “this rare summer radish was developed in Central Europe during the eighteenth century. It is mentioned in Austrian garden books as early as 1770 and was once widely cultivated in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The radish is used both raw in salads as well as cooked like turnips. It was also shredded and fermented with sauerkraut. The Hungarians stew it with peppers. Use like Daikon in Asian-style pickles.” Photos by Dorene Pasekoff (@hillcreekfarmpa) of Pottstown, PA.
