I am having SERIOUS trouble storing and keeping radishes! Any tips on how to prep for and store them in the fridge?
 
I didn't get this tip in reference to radishes specifically, but it was for root vegetables, and I imagine it would work (it's worth a shot, anyway). Store them as-is in a bin of clean sand. If there are tops (greens), cut them off because the leaves will pull nutrients and moisture out of the root.That was a tip from Good Eats for storing beets.

would the Herb Keeper work? with the lid on, right?
 
It depends on how much Herb wants to get paid. If you pay him enough, he might work.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store radishes in the fridge to keep them fresh?

To keep radishes fresh in the fridge, remove the greens if they are still attached, as they can draw moisture from the radishes. Place the radishes in a perforated plastic bag or wrap them in a damp paper towel and store them in the vegetable crisper drawer of your fridge. This helps maintain the right humidity level.

Can I store radishes in water to keep them fresh?

Yes, you can store radishes in water to keep them fresh. Simply trim the tops and place the radishes in a container filled with water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the container and store it in the fridge. Change the water every few days to keep them crisp.

How long can I keep radishes in the fridge?

When stored properly in the fridge, radishes can last for about 1 to 2 weeks. However, their freshness and crunchiness may diminish over time, so it's best to consume them within the first week for optimal taste and texture.

Should I wash radishes before storing them in the fridge?

It's best to avoid washing radishes before storing them, as excess moisture can lead to spoilage. Instead, store them dry and wash them just before use. If they are particularly dirty, you can gently brush off any soil before storing.

What are some signs that radishes have gone bad?

Signs that radishes have gone bad include a soft or mushy texture, discoloration, or a strong, unpleasant odor. If the radishes have shriveled significantly or developed mold, it's best to discard them to avoid any health risks.
