How do you store radishes?

Answer 1

At home, separate the greens from the roots, then store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator where they remain fresh for up to a week.

The best way to store the spicy root is to place the whole radish in a container root down. Fill the container with water so the radishes stay crunchy. Try to eat asap because the water will be absorbed and the radish will lose its fire.

Answer 2

Use a container that conducts temperature, such as tempered glass or ceramic. Place radish slices in and add water so the slice have room to float. Store in the refrigerator. I store radishes, carrot slices and cut up celery in the same container without a lid however depending on what you have in your refrigerator, you may want to cover your radish container. Change the water every day. You can use this water to water plants but bring to room temperature first.

How to Cook

Salad radish such as the longer red French breakfast variety or round cherry belle can be served hot, either quickly blanched or rolled about in the meat juices of a roasting pan. But for me, I love to pick them at the absolute last minute, take them home, wash them and trim the leaves and eat with a little rock salt and/or butter. If the leaves are still quite young add them to a salad mix or eat them in their own right tossed in vinaigrette or cream and red wine vinegar dressing. The peppery roughness of the leaves is quite magnificent and a welcome respite from a standard cos or cut again salad. In Asian cuisine the white radish is often used as a garnish or sliced very thinly on a mandolin as a base for other foods to rest upon. Try marinating a slice or two in a mixture of dry soy sauce, fresh ginger and a little chilli to accompany sushi or grilled seafood.

Answer 4

Root vegetables can be stored at room temperature not exceeding 24 C as the water content tends to evaporate shrinking the vegetable to make the skin tough.

High humidity & temperature can spoil the root vegetables.

Tubers like yam have thick skin and can be preserved for a long time.

Tubers with thin skin cannot be stored for long time in room temperature

It can be stored in a net bag in a refrigerator.

Answer 5

You can eat both the roots and the greens.

Radishes can be eaten raw or cooked in casseroles or soups. Scrub radishes just before you plan to eat them. Avoid peeling the roots, as the anti-oxidant allyl-isothiocyanates, which gives a peppery pungent flavor to radish, are heavily concentrated in the peel. Just wash the root thoroughly, trim the tip ends, and if you have to peel, then gently pare away the thin superficial layer only.

Here are some serving suggestions:

• Small radishes can be served whole or chopped, while larger radishes are usually cut or grated.
• Radishes are eaten raw either as a whole or as slaw or in salads with carrots, beets, cucumber, lettuce, etc.
• Radishes can be added to plates for garnishes. Red radishes are a good way to add color to a veggie tray.
• Grate red radishes into pasta or bean salads for a slightly different taste and texture.
• Radishes are mixed with other vegetables and steamed, stir fried, or sauteed in the recipes in many regions.
• In North India and Pakistan, the root is grated and mixed with spice and seasonings and stuffed inside bread to prepare "mooli parantha."
• Radish pods (moongre in India) are eaten raw in salads or in stir-fries in many parts of Asia.
• Radish greens can be mixed with other greens like spinach or turnip greens, and used in salads, soups, curries, and other dishes.
