Usage
Eaten raw in salads and vegetable platters, used as a garnish.
Selection
Good quality radishes will be smooth, firm, and small to medium sized. The coloring will be an even bright cherry red with no blemishes or scars. The tops will be bright green and crisp.
Avoid
Avoid radishes that are soft, dullcolored, have white or brown scars, or black spots. If the tops are yellow, limp or slimy, the radishes are either old or have not been refrigerated properly.
Storage
Remove and discard leaves if on at time of purchase. Store unwashed radishes in an airtight bag in refrigerator up to 5 days.
