Radish, French Breakfast – it is all in the name

Nov 9, 2016 | General

If only radish tasted as sweet and juicy as it looks!  This is not to say that radish is not delicious, but it somehow always makes one think of red lollipops!  Sakata has an extensive range of commercial radish varieties in their product range that include some old time favourites like Easter Egg Blend II, Cherriette and Icicle.

The attached picture shows you a variety named French Breakfast from a producer in the Western Cape.  French Breakfast performs well all year round with a good yield potential and field holding ability.  French Breakfast has a delicate flavour and is used for quality bunching, salad packs and pre-pack markets.
