Overview
Green Meat is a Takii radish of the Chinese type, with oblong roots about 6 inches long (20 to 25 cm by 6 to 8 cm) that have a dark green neck and green flesh; the interior shades green to white. The flavor is milder and sweeter than a typical spring radish, and the crisp texture holds up raw or lightly cooked. Maturity is 60 days. It can go in during early spring, but it sizes and tastes best as a late-summer sowing that matures in cool fall weather, much like daikon. Thin to 4 to 6 inches in deep, stone-free soil so the large roots form smoothly.
