Raphanus sativus or the Radish is a low growing vegetable with edible, tuberous roots.
The leaves are a dull green with an unusual, prickly texture and if allowed to flower they will produce small four petalled flowers that are white and purple.
The Tuberous roots that we call Radishes have been used for centuries in cooking and generally have a spicy or peppery flavour.
There are many varieties available with different roots shapes, sizes and colours.
If planted wisely, Radishes can supply an almost year-round harvest.
