Instructions
Method 1: In a Bowl of Water
If the radish tops are still attached to the bulbs, remove the leafy greens by tearing them away with your hands. Or, cut the radish greens from the bulb.
Add the radishes to a medium or large bowl (large enough to fit all the radishes without overflowing).
Cover the radishes with fresh, cold water. All the radish bulbs should be submerged in the water.
Place the bowl in the fridge, uncovered, for up to 2 weeks. Change the water every few days.
Method 2: In a Bag
Separate the radish bulbs from the tops by tearing the greens from the bulb or cutting off the top of the radishes. You can leave a small portion of the stems, but not the whole leaves.
Place the unwashed radish bulbs in a gallon-size plastic bag (or reusable silicone bag).
Line the bag with a couple of damp paper towels or a kitchen towel (like a flour sack). Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.
Store the bag in the crisper drawer of your fridge for 10-14 days.
