Fresh Produce Supply Spain
Daikon
October — March
A traditional Spanish turnip
Spain has become an important winter supplier of fresh daikon for European markets. Production is mainly export-oriented and concentrated in southern coastal growing regions. Spain is competitive because it can supply fresh daikon during winter when northern Europe has limited field production.
Varieties
( Oct — Mar)
The standard long white daikon is the most common export type. It has a long cylindrical root, bright white skin, white flesh with mild flavour and crispy texture.
