Breakfast Radish

The French breakfast radish is one of the more than 100 radish varieties. It has a similar appearance to the familiar cherry belle radish but instead of a bulbous shape, it is elongated with edible leafy greens on top. The French breakfast radish has a mild peppery flavor and crisp texture. It is often eaten raw but the radish can be cooked as well. French breakfast radishes are likely to be found at specialty organic markets.
