Why Grow This Variety

• Burgundy-red stems and green to purple-toned cotyledons add colour and peppery flavour.
• The packet's 4–6-day germination and 10–15-day harvest suit a rapid tray crop.
• A small clean tray fits a bright kitchen or sheltered growing area.
• This stocked outcome is cut microgreens, avoiding an unsupported mature-daikon-root promise.

Garden Uses

Use the cut peppery microgreens in salads, sandwiches or as a colourful garnish after hygienic growing, harvest and washing. This packet is not routed to a mature daikon-root crop.

Growing Notes

• Use only a received packet that remains labelled for microgreens and has no contradictory treatment warning.
• Sow 1–2 mm deep, about 1 cm apart, in a clean drained tray; do not transplant and do not grow this packet as a promised mature daikon root.
• Keep near 18–22°C with even moisture, then give bright light and airflow immediately after emergence.
• Bottom-water where practical and harvest above the medium at 10–15 days with sanitised scissors.
• Discard any sour-smelling, slimy or mouldy tray; washing cannot make a contaminated crop safe.

Microgreen food hygiene: Wash hands and clean and sanitise food-contact trays, drainage trays, scissors and the work surface. Use potable water and a clean food-suitable medium without raw manure. Cut above the medium, wash under potable running water immediately before eating and keep cold. Discard any mouldy, slimy or sour-smelling tray.
