Storage Tips
Grated radish is best used immediately after preparation. To store, wrap the grated radish tightly in paper towels and place in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. This helps absorb excess moisture and maintain freshness for up to 2-3 days. Avoid storing at room temperature as it will quickly become limp and lose its flavor. Freezing is not recommended, as it alters the texture significantly.
