Maintain constant moisture, but not too much, to ensure steady growth. Thin out young plants when they reach 5 cm to ensure good spacing and well-formed roots.
Harvest when the roots are full size for a tender texture and mild flavor. Ideal for marinades, roasts or salads, they retain their vibrant color even after cooking. The foliage can be used like spinach to enrich your dishes with flavor and nutrients.
