Grown specifically for their tender, peppery, vitamin-rich leaves (Raphanus sativus), this Agrimax variety produces a quick harvest of leafy greens packed with calcium, iron, and antioxidants. A favourite in South Asian cuisine for sabzi, parathas, and stir-fries, it's also a fast, foolproof crop for UAE home gardens.

Why Radish Leaf Thrives in the UAE

Radish leaves grow exceptionally fast in cool weather, ready to harvest in just 25–30 days from sowing. The UAE's cooler months (October to March) deliver the ideal 15–25°C temperatures for tender, flavourful greens. As a quick-turn crop, it makes excellent succession planting between slower-growing vegetables.
