Radishes coming up-how to store?

[Great Northwet]

I have garlic forever, and now freezing sugar pea's. Never tried Radishes before, but I have 50+ forming bulbs and could use some advice on how to store for winter use in stews/soups, etc.

I have a root cellar where I keep the garlic braided in bunches on a wall, and it keeps all winter. winter temps. in the cellar stay around 50-55degrees.

My guess is to store in a box like onions, in the cellar.

It's my first time I've tried growing them, but I don't think I should try to freeze them.

Anybody have knowledge about what to do with a Radish harvest?

One source says to store them in cool sand (?) I'll look into it a little more. Actually I sat and ate most of my crop watching old movies on TV. Better for you than popcorn, less cholesterol.

they store well in cool humid conditions.
You could also dry/dehydrate them.

I have two dehydrators but lately we have been using our junked car - I just prepapre the items to be dried, put them on trays, and set the trays inside the car - in two or three days they are dehydrated.

Radishes can also be cooked and eaten like any other root crop. I have not tried to freeze them but they should freeze also. The greens are edible also, boil and use a little vinegar when done. All types of radishes from the large asian type to the small red kind can be boiled or made into kimche (sp). They grow fast and are ideal to plant in the garden.

We use all kinds of root tops: Radishes, turnips, beets. I hear carrot tops can be used as greens also, haven't tried them yet.
