Middle Eastern Radish Varieties?

MarianneW · September 25, 2016

Since there's a lot of international folks on here, maybe someone can help me. Once in a while I'm able to get these radishes that are just amazing, the name I was told was "Iraqi radish." I can't find anything online about them, whatsoever. They're about the size of a softball, dark red skin with white core, radish flavor but sweeter and not nearly as harsh as standard radishes. Sorry I didn't think to take a picture last time I was able to get one.

Does anyone know what this might be? I'd like seeds since my normal source--a CSA that is a co-op of a bunch of different farmers--doesn't look like it will have a fall/winter season this year and I still want radishes. Yes, I have tried to find the particular farmer I think grows them at local farmers markets, no luck.
