RADISHES
Radishes (Raphanus raphanistrum) come in all shapes, colors, and sizes! Radishes are a staple in most gardens, and thanks to their versatility, are a staple in most kitchens, too! Check out our Radish infographic below to see the varieties we cultivate!
In season: Early April to December, thanks to our greenhouses
Nutritional value: Radishes are rich in fiber and antioxidants, due to the anthocyanins in their pigmented skin. They also slow sugar absorption and can reduce the starch-induced post-meal glycemic load!
Storage tips: Radishes store well in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Keeping the tops on is ideal, as this helps them last longer. If you opt to de-top them (don’t toss those greens, sauté them!), store them submerged in water or in a container for over a week.
Culinary uses: Radishes have near limitless culinary potential — eat raw, sauté, braise, grill, roast, stir-fry, steam, fry, pickle, ferment! Cooking Radishes will help cut back on their peppery bite!
