Can radishes go bad?
Then, how do you know when radishes go bad?
When it comes to radishes, the signs of spoilage are as follows:
- Soft or soggy texture. A fresh radish is firm to the touch.
- Visual signs of decay. Mold or anything similar means the veggie is done for.
- Off or funny smell. Radishes have a very subtle aroma, so if yours suddenly have a strong smell, discard them.
Also to know is, how can you tell if a white radish is bad?
Radishes that are approximately 1-inch in diameter will be more tender and crisp. Avoid radishes that are soft, dull-colored, have white or brown scars, or black spots; if the radish tops are yellow, limp or slimy, the radishes are old or have not been refrigerated properly. Remove radish greens before storing.
Radishes are good for you. They're generally safe to eat, but don't go overboard if you have thyroid problems. Excessive amounts may interfere with thyroid hormone production. Since radishes may increase bile production, don't eat them without your doctor's approval if you have gallstones.
