Radish leaves are best used fresh. To store, remove the leaves from the radish root, gently rinse them under cool water, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Wrap the leaves loosely in a paper towel and place them in a perforated plastic bag or a reusable container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain their moisture without causing them to wilt. Use within 2-3 days for optimal freshness and flavor. Avoid storing them with the radish root as they will draw moisture away from the root, causing it to become soft.
