FB-Sweta is a long white radish with cylindrical, tapering roots of 15-18 cm carried under broad leaves. Flesh is crisp with a mild pungency that suits salad and daily kitchen use, and the variety is an excellent heat tolerant - it holds root quality in warm weather where many radishes turn pithy. Quick maturity at 40-50 days makes it well suited as an intercrop.
