Store radishes - this is how the tubers keep their bite
Red radishes migrate best from the garden soil directly into the mouth. Of course, she should take a little detour past the tap. And if the tubers have to wait longer for consumption, everything should be correct, at least when they are stored.
Start with high quality
Once vegetables have lost quality, they will not get them back through anything. The storage of radishes does not start at home. Even in the supermarket, the tubers are stored for sale for some time. Not always are the storage conditions optimal and the storage time short.
If the radishes are not fresh from your own garden soil, you should pay attention to a fresh quality when buying. This is especially true when the little tubers at home are not immediately on the menu.
Tips
Let shrunken radishes lie with withered leaves. Even for immediate consumption, these specimens are not recommended.
The tubers are in good hands in the fridge
In the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator, you can certainly find a free spot for a bundle of radishes. Therein they should not unprotected inside, but nicely packed in a well closable box. In it they stay fresh and crispy for about 3 days. You should not keep radishes in the refrigerator for longer.
Tips
Instead of putting them in a tin, you can alternatively wrap radish tubers in a damp kitchen towel.
Prepare radish bundle for cooling
Never should a bundle of radishes be simply put in the fridge. Although the fresh green looks decorative, in the course of storage, however, it has a disadvantageous effect.It removes moisture from the tubers and consequently causes them to shrink.
Therefore, remove all green and roots with a sharp knife and then thoroughly wash all tubers. Then you can put them in a tin and then in the vegetable compartment.
Spice up soft radishes
If the radishes have softened in the refrigerator, they do not have to be thrown away or eaten without bite. With a trick soft radishes get their bulging appearance back.
Remove the tubers from the refrigerator and place them in a bowl of water. The radishes absorb water and become firm and crisp again. But that does not happen from one minute to the other, you would have to be patient.
Freeze: better not!
Although it is possible to freeze radishes and keep them for about eight months, the result is disappointing compared to fresh tubers. In addition, so that they do not dry out, they must not thaw in the air. Incidentally, the glassy consistency is typical of radishes from the freezer.
