1) Appearance is vital factor for consumers in deciding the purchase of fresh produce


2)Consumers expect fresh products to have a near perfect visual appearance


3)Check the characteristic signs of freshness such as bright, lively color and crispness


4)Radish bulbs should not be stored at room temperature (20 ± 2ºC and 75% RH) because the radishes lose their fresh appearance due to shriveling.


5)As with any root crop, look for radishes that are free of growth cracks and bruises with firm and crisp roots. radishes keep well in refrigeration if they are placed in a sealed container or plastic bag to maintain high humidity.
