Daikon is a Japanese white radish commonly used in Asian cooking. Unlike the typical red radish you find in grocery stores, this radish is not as common, and it has a sweet, mild flavor that is lighter tasting than red varieties. It is delicious raw in salads, and cooking it mellows its taste. Since it’s not as readily available as other radishes, it’s always a good idea to know how to store it to keep it fresh. We put together some useful storage tips to ensure you get more time to enjoy these radishes longer.
The best way to store Daikon radishes if you plan on eating them each day is in the fridge. However, it’s important to wrap them in a damp paper towel and plastic or partially submerge them in water before storing them. There are also other ways to store radishes, including preserving them in the basement, root cellar, and freezer. Find out how long these root crops last with each method and how to tell when they are spoiled. Explore information for making pickled Daikon radishes, kimchi, and other flavorful radish recipes.
