Radishes are best when they are fresh and crisp, so it is important to store them properly to extend their shelf life and quality.

To store them in the fridge, you'll want to first remove the greens and store them separately. The greens of radishes can draw moisture and nutrients from the roots, making them wilt and shrivel. Wash them in cool water then pat them dry and place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

If you happen to have a root cellar, or even just a cool, dry basement, you can also store them in a small box filled with damp sand for upwards of 3 months.

• Freezing: Blanched radish greens freeze nicely for later use in soups and stews. Technically you can freeze blanched radish roots, but I wouldn't recommend it. They tend to lose their crispness and flavor.
• Pickling: Pickling radishes is a popular and easy way to preserve them. Pickling radishes can enhance their flavor and crunch, and make them last for up to a month in the refrigerator. You can use pickled radishes as a condiment, a snack, or a salad ingredient.

Radishes are usually eaten raw, but they can also be cooked in various ways to bring out their flavor and texture. Cooking radishes can also make them milder and sweeter, if you prefer a less spicy taste. Here are some methods for cooking radishes:

• Roasting: Cut radishes into halves or quarters and toss them with oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Roast them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are tender and golden. Roasting radishes caramelizes their natural sugars and gives them a nutty flavor.
• Sautéing: Slice radishes thinly and sauté them in butter or oil over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can add garlic, onion, lemon juice, or vinegar for extra flavor. Sautéing radishes softens their texture and reduces their bitterness.
• Boiling: Cut radishes into chunks and boil them in salted water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain them and mash them with butter, cream, and nutmeg for a creamy side dish. You can also add boiled radishes to soups, stews, or curries.

Radish greens are the edible leaves of the radish plant, and they are often discarded or overlooked by many people. However, radish greens are not only nutritious, but also delicious, and they can be cooked in various ways to enjoy their flavor and texture.

Braised radish greens can be served as a side dish, or used as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or pies.
