Radishes: French Breakfast

Theses radishes are known for their vibrant coloring which graduates from a vivid fuchsia-red to bright white at the tip. Topped with edible, leafy greens, French Breakfast radishes are very crisp and offer a mildly spicy flavor. Grilling or oven roasting will bring out the subtly sweet and nutty flavor of the French Breakfast. These radishes are delicious raw in salads, roasted with other roots, roasted with their tops,or you might be interested in trying it in a slaw . The Splended Table suggests radish butter as a spread. These radishes and bread hors d’oeuvres are easy, healthy and tasty.  Another favorite of ours is Spring Rolls where most any vegetable can go into these delicious wraps.  They can be mashed with potatoes for a gratin which can be made vegan in substituting new balance or oil for butter and nutritional yeast for the cheese.   If you haven’t yet pickled radishes, be sure to give it a try because it is great as a topping on tacos! Occasionally these radishes are sold without the tops.

Sold by the bunch. Approximately 5 to 10 radishes per bunch. Bunches typically weigh about 3/4 pound.
