Mooli, also known as daikon radish, is best stored in the refrigerator to maintain its crispness and prevent it from drying out. Before storing, trim off the leafy greens (if attached) and store them separately. Place the mooli in a plastic bag or wrap it in a damp paper towel inside a perforated bag to retain moisture. It will generally keep well for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator. Avoid freezing raw mooli as it can become mushy upon thawing; pickling or cooking before freezing is preferable.
