Choose the best
Go for firm-skinned radishes, with no blemishes. If they feel soft, they are likely to be spongy inside. Any greens still attached should look fresh and perky. The bigger the radish, the less crisp its texture, so avoid larger examples.
Prepare it
To increase the crispness of radish, soak them in iced water for a couple of hours. Wash, then chop off the greens, if present, then slice off the root. Leave whole, slice or chop, as required.
Always prepare radishes just before using, as they loose their potency when cut. Mooli or daikon radishes can be sliced, diced or grated.
Store it
In a perforated bag in the fridge for around 3-4 days. Always trim the leaves off before storing, as they'll draw moisture from the radish itself. You can keep the radish greens in the fridge, wrapped in moist kitchen paper then stowed in a perforated bag, for a couple of days.

I do enjoy fresh radishes. Mine are growing but not big enough to pull just yet.
I never knew they were a member of the mustard family!
Radishes make me think of my dad. He loved them and they were the first things he started us kids growing in the garden.
Me gusta los rábanos. Te mando un beso.
Beautiful photos of the radishes and poppies, Jan. Thank you so much for sharing this information on radishes. I hope you have a lovely week ahead. 💗
Jan, I tell you that around here we call them 'radishes' and that they grow easily from seeds.
I grew some in my garden and already ate them. Going to plant some more.
I don't usually buy radishes. I don't know why that is, but they looks so beautiful in that first photo I need to get some. Happy new week Jan.
I don't use them much-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
I have these very radishes growing in my garden right now. People ,like me, with lupus eat radishes for their anti-inflammatory properties. I just really like the taste.
I do like to put radishes in our salads and the farmer's market has been having some really nice ones ,
today...i failed, i dislike the peppery/spicy flavor of radishes. i do however LOVE how cute they are. good information and pretty flowers today!!
...I've never been a fan!
I really like radishes ever since I was a child and they were among the first things I planted in our garden, I even saute abd eat the leaves!
Radishes are so easy to grow. And can even be sown in a pot. They are delicious when they’re eaten straight from the garden.
I love radishes! Recalling pulling them out of the soil as they were one of the only early vegetables brings me feel warm. I loved slicing the into almost translucent pieces, then making a radish and butter sandwich...good times.
Oh thank you so much for your tips
Jan, thanks for the recipes, the advice, I also like the bouquet on the blog.
Monday Hug!
Oh I love radishes and often eat them, Jan.

I just yesterday had fresh bread with radish cheese (miree) and fresh radishes - I think I took a pic, too! Yum!
Good information. I love salad with radish.
I love radishes and they're so easy to grow. I remember my dad growing them when I was a child, they'd be pulled up and eaten straight away (after a wash).
Boa tarde minha querida amiga Jan. Confesso que tenho muito tempo que não como rabanete. Uma excelente tarde de segunda-feira e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.
I used to like radishes but now I can not eat them.
Love the flowers! Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.
We grew them when I was a child. I really enjoy them but have never had them cooked.
We enjoy radishes here and we have been enjoying some of them from the garden. Thank you for the links to different ways to prepare them.
I love radishes!
Nope
I have never been a fan, but my Daddy loved them and grew several varieties. My memories of radish are painful, trying with an epic rate of failure to fancy cut them for salads in Domestic Science!
Thank you for your kind words on my blog, and especially for your constant encouragement during the fundraiser.
I love radishes too. I enjoy a radish and cucumber sandwich on occasion. Enjoyed your post, thanks Jan and all the best, Denise
They look good. I sometimes put them into my miso soup :-D
I love radishes.

Good afternoon, my dear friend Jan. I confess it's been a long time since I've eaten a radish. Have a wonderful Monday afternoon and a big hug from your friend from Rio.
I like to put them in my salads :)
I love radishes. The salmon, cucumber and radish salad sounds particularly wonderful. And good tip on the ice water!
No suelo comer rábanos, a mi hija le gustan mucho. Besos.
We are a divided family on radishes. D and I love them. Hubby is not a fan. However we managed to make a coleslaw mx with some in and that seemed to go down well 😊
