Guanyang Snow Radish

　　Guanyang Snow Radish, also known as Guanyang Red Radish, is a traditional and high-quality autumn and winter vegetable variety from Guanyang County. It is oval in shape, with a skin that is entirely red or red-and-white, and crisp, tender, snow-white flesh. Delicious and rich in nutrients, it helps clear heat and detoxify the body, and has health benefits such as relieving sore throats and coughs. It is an outstanding variety among radishes and is often associated with the sayings “Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, better than a doctor’s prescription” and “When radishes hit the market, tofu makes way.” It can be eaten raw and is also praised as the “fruit radish.”

　　Guanyang has an annual planting area of 30,000 mu, producing over 100,000 tons of snow radishes annually. The produce is widely sold to cities such as Guilin, Liuzhou, Nanning, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Processed products include dried radish and pickled radish, mainly produced by Guilin Guanyang Xinlong Food Factory.
