Radish Seeds – Mooli
Developed by James Wong – Quick and unbelievably easy to grow. Crisp, peppery roots can store for winter use. Treat them mean and keep them keen! The dim sum favourite that’s as foolproof as a garden radish to grow. Tastes like: Turnip & radish. The mooli, the exotic oriental sister of the normal radish, is not only easy to grow but is infinitely more fun in the kitchen. Baked, boiled, fried, shredded & transformed into some pretty fancy dim sum. They come into crop at the chilly end of autumn when little else exciting is rearing its head & unlike their ubiquitous European siblings, are rather tricky to find outside of Asian grocers. They even come in a bewildering array of colours, from pure white to acid green and even a version with a shocking pink heart. Make space for half a dozen of these and open up a whole range of new culinary experiences way beyond the scope of the sad supermarket types. Sow: July-September. Harvest: August-November.
