Amethyst is a uniquely vibrant, bright purple skinned radish with crisp white flesh. Makes a salad into a striking visual feast, with beautifully contrasting purple and bright white tones. With a mildly spicy taste, Amethyst is great to harvest as baby radishes, and if left to get bigger doesn't get pithy as fast as most varieties. Leaves are delicious added raw to salads.
Features
- Vibrant purple
- Mildly spicy
- Strong grower
