OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The radish (Raphanus sativus) is an edible root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family that was domesticated in Europe in pre-Roman times. They are grown and consumed throughout the world. Radishes have numerous varieties, varying in size, color and duration of required cultivation time. There are some radishes that are grown for their seeds; oilseed radishes are grown, as the name implies, for oil production. The descriptive Greek name of the genus Raphanus means quickly appearing and refers to the rapid germination of these plants. Raphanistrum from the same Greek root is an old name once used for this genus. The common name radish is derived from Latin (Radix = root). Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Miriam T.
