Radish 'Red Bartender' Seeds

This radish is a unique one. ‘Red Bartender’ grows long and tapered, kind of like a carrot, rather than small and round. This variety can grow up to 9 inches long (but tastes best harvested at 4-5 inches long), and about 1 inch thick, with a bright red exterior and slightly pink interior. The taste is exceptionally crisp and fresh, with a hint of sweetness if harvested at the right time.
