Selecting, storing & prepping radish
- Selecting
- Choose firm, smooth radishes without soft spots; fresh, unwilted greens attached are a good freshness sign if present.
- Storing
- Keeps about 2 weeks refrigerated. Removing the leafy tops first, the same as carrots, helps them stay firmer longer, since the greens pull moisture from the root.
- Prepping
- Radishes mellow in flavor when cooked — roasting or sautéing turns their peppery bite noticeably sweeter and milder.

Key metrics
Nutrient density
Per 100 kcal, radish delivers about 13% of a Daily Value on average across 22 beneficial nutrients. The score is its percentile for that measure among the 177 foods in our database — higher means more nutrition per calorie. How this is calculated.
- More vitamin C than 88% of foods · 69% of vegetables
Density counts protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals (not fat, sodium, or sugar), each capped so a single nutrient can’t dominate, with a calorie floor so very-low-calorie foods aren’t overstated. It measures nutrition per calorie within our database — a useful guide, not a complete verdict on how “healthy” a food is.
