Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I am sprouting radish seeds but am not sure how long the roots can be to be beneficial. Should they continue to grow after the smaller roots appear or should they be harvested before then? Peg Diamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 The roots of mine get about 1 and 1/2 long. I eat the little buggers when they have opened their leaves and gotten a day of light. Sort of light green. Mine don't get as green as the ones in the stores. Anybody else?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Peg, radish normally are harvested when they are 3-4 cm high At this stage they have well shaped green leafs and long roots and the original seed are almost disappeared leaving only the external brown skin. It depend on sprouting method and on temperature, but this stage may arrive after 4-5 days. Different colours may depends also from radish variety (Daikon is normally darker than China Rose) Hope this help Dario > > I am sprouting radish seeds but am not sure how long the roots can be to be beneficial. > Should they continue to grow after the smaller roots appear or should they be harvested > before then? > > Peg Diamond > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I use daikon radish seeds by sprouting a few seeds in with other types of seeds. Mixes are fun to create. Usually it is one containing broccoli or broccoli raab. A few mustard seeds are fun too. As your hubby didn't like alot of radish sprouts by themselves, he just might be surprised that he does like a few of them in a mix. I actually don't like radish roots myself, but have eaten radish flowers and even tried an immature radish seed pod. > > Hello E.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hi. I have grown radish sprouts (as a matter of fact, radish sprouts were the first seeds I ever bought off of the internet). Never had a problem, by 3 days they are almost to the top of my trays. I rinse and drain 3 times a day (in warmer weather (draining completely) and in cool weather two times a day. Try draining completely after you rinse them. Melody > > do radish sprouts take long to start growing tails?...i started some radish seeds 3 days ago, sifted them out of a salad mix because they took so long when sprouting the mix i thought i'd just do them on their own instead of having big unsprouted seeds in my sprouts...i'm just surprised since radishes come up so quickly in the garden...maybe they are a bit old? > > lara > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
