Easter Egg
A tier
Easter Egg is a mix or type class of round radishes in pink, red, purple, and white skins for colourful bunches—each root mild when grown fast, with white flesh like other spring globes. The value is multicolour presentation more than a single unique flavour. Kids’ gardens and market bunches love the mix. Use raw in salads for confetti colour. Grow and pull like Cherry Belle. Separate colours if you need uniform pickle jars; keep mixed for parties.
