Known as French Breakfast , the Petit Déjeuner Français radish variety belongs to those early root vegetables that faithfully accompany the start of the season. Its elongated, bright red root, ending in a white tip, easily finds its way into the rows of the vegetable garden and then naturally finds its place on the table, for a simple and nourishing snack.

In a thriving garden, it's a reliable plant: sowing takes place early in spring in already receptive soil, and the harvest follows in just a few weeks. Its light foliage covers the ground and participates in the cycle of seasons, making way, after harvest, for other light-loving crops. Easy to integrate into a diverse growing area, the French Breakfast radish is well-suited to respectful cultivation practices and careful observation of living things.

  • Growing climate: Cool season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Occasional
  • Growth: Rapid growth

Note: Tolerates early spring sowing and late summer sowing well in cool climates.

The root of the French breakfast radish is mostly eaten raw, sliced ​​into sticks or rounds. Its elongated shape and rather mild flavor make it a classic addition to crudité platters, often served with bread, butter, and a little salt. It can also be used to garnish salads, open-faced sandwiches, and other sandwiches.

The tender young leaves can be cooked in soups or quickly sautéed, according to traditional practices in some home gardens. The roots will keep for a few days in a cool place, ideally in a sealed container in the refrigerator to preserve their crispness.
