Purple Rambo Radish, Heirloom Seeds

Purple Rambo Radish, Heirloom Seeds — The Striking Purple Radish With Rosy Stems and Bright Floral Flavor

Purple Rambo (Raphanus sativus) is a striking radish that boasts the same wonderful dark cotyledons as the Sango radish — rosy stems and a bright, floral, spicy flavor that adds a tasty flair to any dish. High in anthocyanins, the deep red-purple pigmentation in the stems and leaves is both beautiful and nutritious. Use it anywhere you would use sliced radish — salads, garnishes, stir-fries, and grain bowls. Rambo also makes exceptional microgreens: packed with nutritional benefits, visually stunning, and ready in days.
