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! :)
