How to freeze radishes for the winter and is it possible to do it - freezing recipes
The main difficulty in storing radishes is that when frozen in a regular freezer, where the standard temperature is –18 to –24 °C, the water contained in the radishes turns into crystals that burst the fruit. And when defrosting, the radish will simply drain, leaving a puddle of water and a limp rag.
The only option is low-temperature freezing at -40 °C. Wash the radishes, cut off the tops and roots, cut them in half, and freeze at -40 ° C for 10 minutes.
After this, the frozen radishes can be put into a bag and placed in a regular freezer.
But few household freezers can produce such a temperature, so let’s consider other options for keeping radishes fresh for the winter.
Oddly enough, radishes feel better at temperatures of -2 °C. Wash the root vegetables; the tops and roots should not be trimmed. Dry the radishes and place them in a bag, transferring them with regular paper napkins.
They will absorb condensation that may appear in the bag, and thereby preserve the fruits from rotting. From time to time you will have to change the napkins and replace them with fresh ones.
Radishes in a jar of water also perfectly retain their strength and taste. Place the peeled radishes in a jar, you can add a spoonful of salt or vinegar, but this is not necessary, and place the jar of radishes in the refrigerator, where the temperature is not lower than -2 ° C.
Radish salad is a healthy and delicious appetizer that can be made in 5 minutes. You will learn how to do this from this video:
