In this video, I show you how to grow one of the easiest crops that you probably have never heard of called Rakkyo. We also cover preparing and pickling these mild but tasty onions.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland, Australia, about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online, so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

Omg your fingers ! All soaked to pale coloured . That takes too long time to process
Did the jars get heat processed at all? I know the acid will help with food safety, but I'm curious about texture. I've never done a shelf vinegar pickle… Salt ferment, or vinegar fridge pickle, and of course water bath canning so I'm super curious what happened between filling jars and putting them in storage!
Didn't Queen write a song about these onions?
"We will we will Rakkyo…" 😉
Ginger also adds a lovely layer of warmth and goes wonderfully with the apple cider vinegar.
Hiya 😂ruckyor good✅👏🏻
Gardening is boss
i admire you and all that you teach us! you’re like the wholesome, funny dad i never had – but with and accent 😂❤
This seems like a labor of love…..I'm here for it!
I LOVE my husband’s grandmothers pickled rakkyo. But obviously we can’t get it here… or so I thought!! Thanks for the video Mark I am definitely going to try to get a hold of some.
Thanks for new information. Love your channel. Can't grow the same in the Pacific Northwest of U.S. but I'm gonna try these for summer!
Great video
Too fiddly for me, lol.
