Daikon Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Daikon (Raphanus sativus, Longipinnatus group) is the East Asian form of the common radish, an annual or biennial of the mustard family, Brassicaceae, whose wild ancestors grew around the Mediterranean and in Asia; it has been a staple vegetable of China, Japan, and Korea for over a thousand years. It forms a rosette of coarse, deeply lobed, bristly leaves above a long, smooth, white root that can reach 40 centimeters, crisp and mild with a peppery finish. When it bolts it carries pale lilac flowers and inflated pods of small, round, reddish-brown seeds, known in China as Lai Fu Zi. We extract the dried seed and sprouting seed separately.
