How to Store Radishes (Best Ways to Keep Them Fresh & Crisp)

Step 1

If the radish tops are still attached to the bulbs, remove the leafy greens by tearing them away with your hands. Or, cut the radish greens from the bulb.

Step 2

Add the radishes to a medium or large bowl (large enough to fit all the radishes without overflowing).

Step 3

Cover the radishes with fresh, cold water. All the radish bulbs should be submerged in the water.

Step 4

Place the bowl in the fridge, uncovered, for up to 2 weeks. Change the water every few days.

Step 5

Separate the radish bulbs from the tops by tearing the greens from the bulb or cutting off the top of the radishes. You can leave a small portion of the stems, but not the whole leaves.

Step 6

Place the unwashed radish bulbs in a gallon-size plastic bag (or reusable silicone bag).

Step 7

Line the bag with a couple of damp paper towels or a kitchen towel (like a flour sack). Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.

Step 8

Store the bag in the crisper drawer of your fridge for 10-14 days.
