(50 days) F-1 hybrid.
Wide plumb-bob–shaped 5" long x 2½" wide roots with gorgeous bluish-purple skin and greenish-purple shoulders are “mini” only when compared to long white types. Topped by vibrant dark green leaves with short stems blushed purple-pink. Interior flesh is ringed deep purple with streaks through white meat merging into a purple sunburst core.
All sizes, from 3" up to the 9" bombs, have excellent crunchy tender raw texture and mildly spicy flavor. When cooked, Mini becomes firm, sweet and savory with tangy hints of rutabaga. Excellent keeper: Elisabeth fermented the last of hers with fresh cilantro the following summer. They make magenta pickles. Note: expect 10% green-shouldered white off-type roots of same flavor and texture.
