Storage tips

If greens are attached to your radishes, remove and store them separately in the fridge. Radishes store best in the crisper drawer of your fridge and will keep up to 2 weeks.

Culinary tips

• Both the greens and root are edible. Prepare the greens as you would kale or spinach.
• Black Spanish Radishes can be enjoyed raw or cooked: cooking will mellow out the spicy flavor.
• Add thinly sliced raw radish to salads, soups, or as a garnish on tacos. They also make a great addition to a crudite platter.
• Radishes pair well with herbs like chervil, parsley, and chives.
