Ohno Scarlet

These are bright red roots that are half-buried in the soil. They have a smooth skin surface and white flesh. The pigmentation on some roots fades to white at the base. The numerous leaves are long and green with pink petioles and midribs. The roots do not hold well in the field as they grow too large and split and crack. They have a very mild flavor with a touch of spiciness and a smooth texture. SSE Accession # 127637
