Title: Candela di fuoco
Post by: Beewyched on May 05, 2011, 12:32:11 pm

Just received our copy of GOW & had the usual freebie seed packet - Mr F's Radish "Candela di fuoco" - never heard of, let alone tried any of these before - on the piccy they look like carrots  ???

They are a long italian type radish and very scrummy but do have a bit of a kick. They are fantastic sliced very thinly into salads especially if you are using a light dressing.
