Why You'll Love Growing These

• ❄️ Cool-season variety — thrives in autumn and winter, ideal for southern Australian gardens
• 🍯 Large, firm & sweet — cool weather enhances natural sweetness and produces bigger, denser roots
• 📐 Impressive size — produces larger roots than summer varieties, great for cooking and sharing
• ⚡ Quick to harvest — ready in approximately 50–70 days from sowing
• 🇹🇭 Authentic Asian variety — the white radish (hua chai tao / หัวไชเท้า) used across Thai, Chinese & Japanese cooking

How to Grow

Sow seeds directly into deep, well-drained, loose soil in a sunny to partly shaded position. Plant seeds 1–2cm deep, spacing 20–25cm apart for larger roots. Water consistently to keep soil moist. Best sown in autumn (March–May) for a winter harvest across most of Australia. In tropical regions, the cooler dry season (May–August) is ideal. Harvest when roots are large and firm, typically 25–40cm in length.

In the Kitchen

Winter white radish is sweeter and more flavourful than summer varieties — perfect for slow-cooked dishes where the sweetness really shines. Braise in Chinese-style soy, oyster sauce, and star anise for a rich, comforting side. Add to Thai clear soup (gaeng jued) or Japanese oden for depth and body. Pickle in vinegar and sugar for a tangy condiment. Grate fresh as a garnish or use in Korean-style kimchi for a bold fermented flavour.
