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.

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.
