Update on Radish Sprouts

Radish sprouts, ready to harvest

Radish sprouts, ready to harvest

The radish sprouts are ready to harvest.

You can see from the second picture that roots did grow somewhat through the bottom of the vessel.

The third photo shows the small seed insert removed, and the roots are clearly growing down through that.  So, my memory was wrong.  They do grow through the insert.

They taste great!  Peppery without any trace of bitterness.  Some of these are definitely going on a sandwich for lunch!

    Do you pull the whole mess out roots and all or do you cut the sprouts off?

      wd: we eat the roots too. Sprouts usually have them on when you purchase them and they taste fine.

    Kinda figured you would. That would be a pain to clean the roots off when they are already rinsed and clean. Thanks.

    Found some radish seed in bulk for $1.40 per ounce. What do you usually pay and how many do you plant each time?
