Storage: Daikon will keep well in the refrigerator if placed in a sealed container or plastic bag to keep humidity high. Wrap a dampened paper towel around the radishes to ensure they remain fresh during the storage period.
Uses: Daikon is as good cooked as it is raw. Grate it into salads, simmer it in a soup, roast it, saute, or pickle it. To prepare, peel the skin with a vegetable peeler, and cut to the style you prefer.
