China Rose Radish

China Rose radish can be a bit spicy, not quite as spicy as daikon or mustard microgreens, but close.  They have a delicious radish flavor, a favorite among chefs as it adds a distinct flavor and beauty to many dishes.  Radish is also one of the faster growing microgreens, usually being ready in less than 10 days.  The spiciness tends to lessen after several days, and some batches are spicier than others.  Just be sure to eat them raw as cooking almost all microgreens will cook out most of the nutrients that make microgreens so special.
