German Giant is an extra large radish with a mild flavor and deep red color. The roots are typically 3" in diameter, but they can grow larger while still retaining their crispness. This is a favorite variety of many savvy home gardeners.
Theresa Martz of TendingMyGarden.com introduced me to this fabulous heirloom radish. She says it's a real hit at dinner parties. Even people who don't normally like radishes enjoy the mild flavor of German Giant.
Latin name: Raphanus sativus.
