Overview
Misato Green is an open-pollinated winter radish of the Chinese type from Sakata Seed America. The stump-ended cylindrical roots run 20 to 35 cm long and about 6 cm thick, green over roughly the upper two thirds inside and out and white below. The flesh is very fine-grained, drier than most radishes and starchy-sweet, good for eating fresh and for pickling, and it stores excellently. Tops are small and short. Grow it for autumn to winter harvest; a light frost can improve the flavor.
