General information about Radish Rose

Taste and appearance of Radish Rose
Radish Rose microgreens bring light pink stems and green leaves to the plate, together with a crunchy texture and a pronounced radish bite. Choose them for dishes where a spicy garnish should contribute flavour rather than colour alone.
Cooler growing conditions encourage a more saturated stem colour. The flavour can become stronger as the shoots grow, so harvest stage also affects the result. Start with a small handful when combining Rose with milder ingredients.
How to grow Radish Rose
Prepare a clean growing tray and moisten a suitable microgreens growing medium. For a 10 × 20 inch tray, the recommended sowing density is 48 g. There are approximately 75 seeds per gram.
- Sow directly. No pre-soaking is needed. Spread the seeds evenly over the moist surface rather than leaving them in dense piles.
- Allow approximately 3 days in blackout. Check germination and moisture regularly, keeping the medium moist without standing water.
- Move into light. After blackout, provide adequate light and continue checking moisture. Water as needed without waterlogging the medium.
- Harvest the young shoots. The approximate total growing time is 9 days from sowing, including blackout. Check that the seed leaves have opened and cut the shoots above the growing medium with clean scissors or a knife.
Use the growing time as a guide and assess the crop itself. For more on the radish family, see the guide to growing and using radish microgreens.
How to use Radish Rose
Rose radish microgreens add a spicy finishing touch to salads, sandwiches and savoury dishes. Scatter them over a finished plate to keep their pink stems, fresh leaves and crisp texture visible.
Use the shoots as an edible garnish or combine them with milder leaves for a salad base. They also work in pesto and sauces: start with a small amount, then add more until the peppery flavour suits the dish. This gives a different result from using Rose solely as a topping.
What are the nutritional benefits of Radish Rose
Radish microgreens contain vitamin C and minerals including potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Fresh Radish Rose microgreens are an easy way to add greens to a varied diet. Their spicy flavour makes a small handful a useful addition to everyday meals, while their colour suits restaurant presentation.
