My 7 year old son is obsessed with radishes. He loves all of them. I think his favorite is French Breakfast because of the name. I love pink beauty- they are so pretty. We love radishes so much that when our grass goes dormant in the winter, we broadcast out French Breakfast into the lawn and they grow completly in the thatch (we use organic methods on our lawn). No insects bother them there and they are very clean.

My son also LOVES sauteed radishes. He likes them sauteed in a little butter and olive oil dressed with herbs. They cook up like a potato and milder than when they start.

We also grow the winter storage radishes but they are really hot. Slice off a hunk, salt, let sit a while, squeeze off water, eat, drink a swig of beer. My son is not as fond of these but I like them because they are huge (cool looking), good, and can be used in many ways. Market goers love them here.
