Harvesting and Storage

  • Harvesting: Harvest when radishes reach about 3-4 inches in diameter for optimal sweetness. They can be picked earlier for a milder flavor or left in the ground longer for a slightly spicier taste.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dark place, ideally at 32°F and high humidity, to keep radishes fresh and crisp for several weeks.
