Aka Karaine Hybrid

Aka Karaine Hybrid

	Seed #376

This prize winning hybrid radish is recognized for its pungent flavor and

beautiful pink-red color presentation in “daikon oroshi” (finely grated radish using a Japanese grater). The skin is red with red flesh near the skin and pigments of red specks in the white

core of the root. The roots are somewhat cylindrical in shape — about twice as tall (roughly 6") as they are wide with red veins and red-green leaves. The Karaine variety tolerates long storage (more than 6 months when stored in cool temperatures). The

flesh is firm due to the lower water content compared with other radish varieties which intensifies its spicy flavor. The red skin does not need to be peeled before grating and enhances

more color to the “daikon oroshi”. The radish is most pungent a minute or two after grating, after which it becomes more mild with time. This unique hot and spicy grated daikon is delicious with soba noodles, tempura, sashimi and salads.
