Named after the Greek sun god, this easy to grow, uniquely colored heirloom is equally as attractive as it is tasty! Vigorously produces leafy greens with purple streaked ribs atop golden-skinned, white-fleshed bulbs. Great for warmer climates as Helios resists spiciness and bitterness better than most red varieties. This garden gem is nutritiously packed with Vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin B6, and Folic Acid. Liven up any appetizer, kabob, or salad with a subtle saffron color and crunchy sweetness! Still plant early and harvest young for juiciest mild fruit. Radish leaves are perfect additions to pestos and green smoothies!
