Overview
Easter Egg Radish is a vibrant heirloom variety producing multicolored roots with a stunning mix of white, pink, purple, and red striping. These small, round radishes mature in approximately 30 days, making them ideal for quick succession planting. Their defining characteristic is their mild, crisp, and exceptionally sweet flavor with significantly less peppery bite than traditional radishes, making them particularly appealing to those who prefer gentler radish varieties. The colorful appearance and pleasant taste make them both visually striking in gardens and excellent for fresh eating, salads, and garnishes.
