French Breakfast radishes (Raphanus sativus) are a small to medium-sized variety of red, oval radishes with lovely white tips. They are fast-growing, typically maturing in 20 to 30 days, and can be sown year-round. The flesh is white and crisp with a mild, earthy and peppery flavor. In addition to the roots, the leafy green tops are edible and have a crisp texture  and slightly peppery flavor. Seed packet 3 g (about 400 seeds).

Radishes are lovely in vegetable platters and fresh salads, or they can also add a delightful crunch to tacos and sandwiches. Try adding radishes to stir-fries and casseroles, incorporated into soups, or pickled as a tangy condiment. Large, premium seed packets give instructions on how to grow and when to plant outdoors.
