Red Radish, Organic
$4.50
Red radishes are a versatile ingredient that can be sliced, diced, or chopped into an assortment of filling meals.
To preserve your radishes, trim them to remove their roots and leaves. When storing, do not wash until ready to consume, too much extra moisture will cause your radishes to spoil faster. Then place radishes in a paper towel and put them in a plastic storage bag. Be sure to remove all the air, seal, and place in crisper drawer of the refrigerator. This will allow your radishes to last for up to two weeks.
FreshFix Tip: You can store roots and leaves in a plastic bag with a paper towel and place in the crisper drawer too. To save prep time you can wash, and store cut radishes the same way as the above but, they will only last for a couple of days when preserving this way.

Red radishes are a fantastic source of fiber that can aid with digestion. Also, their vitamin C content can help with reducing inflammation. Lastly, the roots are edible and contain potassium, calcium, magnesium, folate, copper, zinc, and vitamins E, K, and B. So, when preparing your meals, be sure to incorporate the roots as much as possible so you do not miss out on all of the nutrient benefits.
