ABOUT
China Rose is one of the oldest heirloom radish varieties in cultivation, brought to Europe by Jesuit missionaries in the 1850s, and it has earned its place on every serious microgreens tray since. The cotyledons emerge with rose-to-magenta stems that practically glow against deep green leaves, making every harvest tray look as good as it tastes. Bite into a stem and you get a sharp, clean radish heat — crisp and juicy, never bitter — that cuts through rich dishes like avocado toast, soft cheese, or a fatty bowl of ramen in a way that dried spice simply cannot. Stock is available now in Europe, and this fast turnaround variety means you could be harvesting your first tray within the week.
