RADISHES: Best Ways to Store, Prepare, and Enjoy
Storage
Treat like carrots and celery- with the greens on, they could be wrapped in a damp paper towel and stored in a gallon ziplock bag for weeks
It is also just fine to remove the greens and root and soak in water for about a week

Fun factS
Radishes are one of the fastest maturing vegetables. Radish microgreens can be harvest-ready in days, and many of the roots themselves reach maturity in less than a month!
5 ways to eat RADISHES fresh
Eat them raw! Some people like to add salt, others prefer to dip in melted butter before salting.
Slice them and put them on your buttered toast for breakfast
Grated/shaved and tossed into a salad (would go well with your spinach)
Add to a taco for little crunch and kick
Try making risotto!
Breakfast
Like I mentioned, they would go well on your toast!
Cut in half, saute them, then add in your eggs for a quick veggie scramble
Lunch
One of the fresh options above would probably be best!
Dinner
Roast or pan fry your radishes, it will rock your world! Personally, I’m not a huge fresh radish fan, but cooking them makes them so much more palatable. Works well as a side dish for roasted/grilled pork/beef.
If you have the grill going, try grilling!
