The “Warta” radish (Raphanus sativus) produces medium-long roots that reach harvest size quickly, typically within just 25 days after sowing. Known for their high quality, these radishes do not break or become pithy, similar to the “Silesia” variety. They can grow to a notable length of 4-5 cm and a diameter of 1.5-2 cm. Their carmine-red skin, adorned with a white tip, encases white, crunchy flesh that is mild in flavour, lacking the typical sharpness associated with radishes. As a low-calorie vegetable, radishes are rich in vitamin C, iron, and calcium, enhancing the taste and visual appeal of sandwiches, salads, eggs, and cottage cheese.

The “Warta” variety can be cultivated in the ground for a late spring harvest or under protective covers for spring or late autumn yields. Depending on the growing method, radish seeds should be sown from April to May or in August. For optimal results, it is recommended to sow seeds every two weeks, allowing for a continuous supply of fresh and flavorful roots. Due to its short growing period, this radish variety is well-suited for use as a catch crop between other vegetables.
