Radishes have a fresh, peppery flavor that can’t be beat, and we love adding them to salads and roasting them with olive oil and garlic. They are packed with vitamins and nutrients, and there are many types to choose from, including red, pink, purple, white, and gold varieties. They’re even better when you grow them at home, but radish harvest time means you have to get creative with storage methods. Discover how to keep your radishes fresh and tips for preserving them for long periods.
