Five Reasons Why You Need to Grow Daikon Radish

In this video, I give five reasons why you should consider growing daikon radish. I call this one of the ultimate survival crops. Hopefully, after watching this video, you share my enthusiasm for this often, unheard-of root crop.

Oh and one piece of information I forgot to mention in the video, these guys are full of starches that rapidly convert into sugars, after a frost. So just like carrots, if you have a few colder nights or mornings, you can expect the taste to change for the better.

Here is where I initially got my seeds: (not an affiliate link0

Good job 👍, Anthony. My family been growing Daikon for the 1, 000 years. It’s a cash crop for Asian markets. We grow the Japanese variety. See Asian cooking 🧑‍🍳. I make a type of dried Veggie noodle, a yellow pickle, a type of rice topping, Kim Chee, and others.

Will try next year. Tried "mini daikon", this year, one star, tough, fibrous, tasted like dirt.
Hopefully, crunchy, refreshing, yummy, suitable for salads, pickles, and stir fry next year.
👍 good video and recommendation.

Excellent video!❤
When daikons flower and go to seed, the pods are abundant!!!! They are yummy and if you let them dry on the plant...More seeds!

Thank you so much for this info. After you grate it, stirfry in a pan with salt, pepper and lots of lemon squeezed on it. After it is cooked for atleasr 20 minutes to half hour and is much softer. It tastes great in a wrap or pasta and amazing on a pizza! Try it. ❤

I planted a Japanese variety last year and was eating my own radishes into December of last year. I like the root uncooked and cook the leaves in oil, garlic, and onions. Simply delicious.

I see Kimchi in your future. Have you eaten the pods or leaves? the leaves are a bit radishy, so I only put in a few leaves in a bunch of greens. The young pods are awesome..and it's one of the easiest plants to save seed from...they keep reseeding themselves in the pot I grow them in for my little seed farm.

Thankyou for this video . I will go check it out for next year’s planting. Great information. Have a wonderful day.

Like #23. Good information! Same as you, they break up the heavy clay soil that I have. I haven’t actually eaten them… I let them grow deep and then rot.

He’s wrong about the daikon radish dying off in the wintertime. It’s one of the few foods that you can grow that you can eat in the winter time.

Also, you will have it in spring time and it makes a wonderful pollinator for all the bees when it shows you is beautiful, beautiful flowering when it metamorphic sizes itself and starts producing seeds that’s like a cocoon. You should see when it turns into a butterfly it’s blue.
