The listing, 50+ Watermelon ~RADISH~ seeds has ended.

For some FUN try planting something different this spring..FUN watermelon Radish seeds
Rabano Watermelon
Asian Vegetable
Unique & Tangy

A compleatly unique radish, with smooth white skin and bright reddish-pink interior. The large 4" roots are crisp and tangy, Harvens in about 35 days!

A fellow Listian did some research for me on this (I am on dial-up)
~~~~~~~~~~~
I just did some more research. What I have found is that the rabano radish was originally grown in Egypt in 2700 B.C. It started as a wild radish and its popularity spread to different areas. It's usually eaten fresh, but can be cooked or dried. (I've never actually cooked a radish.) According to some references, it has nutritional value of iron, Vit. C, potassium, folic acid, and thiamin. It can also give roughage, which helps with constipation. It took a while to find it, so I thank you MsCougar, for your efforts. It looks like radishes do actually add to a healthy diet! :)

This is an awesome auction!! I love things that are different & these sure are. I used to work on a large farm, with fields & fields of vegetables. They grew radishes, the regular red round ones & I would pick & cook the greens of the radish & the radishes together. If you like greens you would love these because they have almost a sweet flavor to them. The greens of the radishes are quite prickly, they don't have thorns though.. BUT after you wash them & they have cooked they are as smooth as any other type of greens. It is actually amazing. Just thought I would share my experience with you & I will be watching & bidding. Thanks :)
