How can I preserve radishes?  I do have a food dehydrator, but not sure if I should freeze them or what?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Gail

I pickle them.  I don't think they would do very well in a dehydrator.  You might want to dehydrate a few as an experiment.

Radishes are one of my favs--the hotter the better! They can be shredded and frozen in small batches for soups etc. but obviously lose much of their intensity. I agree dehydrating may work better.

Pickling is probably the most common way of preserving radishes. To keep that fresh thing going, you can plant radishes every 2 weeks, just a little short row, instead of planting a whole patch at once. Leave a few for the seed pods, they are likewise good pickled when green. Let a few mature for seeds to replant.

I agree, we always ate them as they grew, never did preserve any. Always kept replanting them, they,re fast growers.
