Uses, Cultivation, and Practical Tips

When to sow: in spring or early autumn depending on your climate. Approximate maturation time: 70 to 85 days from sowing to harvest.

Planning and spacing: sow in rows or in groups 1–2 cm deep, thinning to leave 8–10 cm between each plant. Rows spaced 30–35 cm facilitate aeration and uniform root formation.

Growing conditions: cool, loose soil, regular watering to prevent yellowing and promote well-formed roots. Light mulching helps retain moisture and reduces weeds.

Culinary uses: perfect grated in crispy salads, grated in coleslaws, grated for vegetable cakes, or cut into sticks for a quick snack. When cooked, they hold up well and add a warm color to your dishes.
