Best answer: Definitely a radish. The white tip and shape of the leaves does it for me.

Looks more like a radish to me, mostly because of the white at the bottom. And look at this neat image I found.

radish. Dunno of any white-tipped beet, and anyway, that little leaf in the lower right is exactly what a radish sprout looks like.

The greens are also wrong for a beet. It's a radish.

More specifically, it's a French breakfast radish.

(I knows my radishes.)

French breakfast radish
I thought the French always had mushrooms for breakfast?

Breakfast of champignons

Plant a radish
Get a radish
Never any doubt

That's why I like vegetables
They know what they're about

Not at all responsive to the OP, I just like this song.

Connie (Thelma Todd): Oh, Professor, you’re full of whimsy.
Professor Wagstaff (Groucho Marx): Can you notice it from there? I’m always that way after I eat radishes.

I've seen turnips ( small variety) that look very similar. But it does look a lot like a radish.
