The heaviest radish was grown by a Japanese company named Manda Fermentation Co. Ltd. “Manda Fermentation Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of supplements and special fertilisers made from fermented botanical raw ingredients, and they grow giant radishes every year using their technology,” read the official website.
While usually, radishes take about three months to harvest, this particular radish was harvested after a whopping six months. It was verified at HAKKO Park in Onomichi, Hiroshima on February 22, 2023. As for the dimensions of the heaviest radish, it has a circumference of 113cm with a root length of 80 cm. Further, it weighs a whopping 45.865 kgs at the time of the world record.
