About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old French variety with long-oval tubers that are strongly red and have a white tint at the tip, a real eye‑catcher on the plate. ‚French Breakfast’ tastes especially mild and slightly nutty and is traditionally served with butter and salt for breakfast. You sow it early and harvest it quickly, because if harvested too late the long roots become hollow faster than round varieties. Seed‑fertile, decorative, and a classic for spring cultivation.

Mild and nutty with only a slight heat, crunchy, best when young and fresh straight from the bed.
