This striking Asian heirloom, a.k.a. "Beauty Heart" in Chinese, produces large, 2 to 4 inch roots with pale green exteriors and rich rose-red crunchy flesh the same color as a perfectly ripe watermelon. The sweet, mild to just slightly peppery flesh is perfect to shred into salads for gorgeous color and flavor or slice thin for colorful snacks or eye-catching dip holders. Harvested roots keep well stored in the fridge. Plant at midsummer; taste is sweeter in cold weather.
