Originating from the large family of spring radishes, the Cherry Belle has become a classic in vegetable gardens for its earliness and consistent quality. Its round, bright red roots quickly emerge in the still-cool soil at the beginning of the season, providing the first crisp notes of a vibrant garden.

In welcoming, well-loosened soil, it produces small, uniform radishes with white flesh, best harvested young to enjoy their full sweetness. This reliable variety, well-suited to staggered sowing, naturally finds its place in a diverse garden. Cultivated using respectful methods, it integrates easily among rows of lettuce and other slower-growing vegetables, participating in the cycle of seasons as one of the first signs of spring's renewal.

  • Growing climate: Cool season

The Cherry Belle radish is mainly eaten raw, sliced ​​or quartered, in salads or simply with a little salt and butter. Its round, bright red root with white flesh provides a crisp texture and a mild, slightly peppery flavor.

Young radish leaves can also be cooked in certain dishes, following the common culinary practices for spring radishes. Fresh roots will keep for a few days in a cool place, ideally with a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve their crispness.
