Storage
While we love this variety best small, around softball size, there are varieties such as Gigante that can be raised as large as a cabbage and stored in the root cellar and eaten during the cold months. More often we distribute smaller ones for fresh eating during the distribution season. These store great for over a week wrapped in the fridge.
