Description

Radish 'French Breakfast' (Raphanus sativus) is an iconic French heirloom dating back to the 1880s, long celebrated in Parisian open-air markets for its handsome appearance and delicate flavor. Producing oblong, cylindrical roots measuring 2 inches long, it features a striking vivid scarlet-pink top half offset by a bright white tip. The crisp, juicy white interior flesh delivers a remarkably mild, sweet flavor with just a hint of peppery kick. Maturing in roughly 21 to 25 days, French Breakfast is traditionally eaten raw with butter and sea salt, making it an exquisite choice for early spring garden beds, autumn plots, and fresh salad displays.
