Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.
Description
What Winter Radish Münchner Bier is
Winter Radish Münchner Bier (Raphanus sativus var. niger) is an annual vegetable of the Cabbage family (Brassicaceae). The Munich Beer variety is a classic autumn-winter radish variety.
At their widest they reach 7-8 cm in diameter.
The surface is smooth. The flesh is white, firm and juicy with excellent flavour.
The oil in radishes strengthens the immune system in winter, which is why they are often eaten raw and salted, or cooked as an ingredient in soup.
Winter radishes (black, white and purple radish) are sown in summer and produce large, pungent roots that keep through the winter.
