Radish

Wash, drain, and trim off roots. Radishes will keep two weeks refrigerated in a plastic bag.

Spinach

Store in perforated plastic bags in the refrigerator crisper. Or wash and store in Tupperware boxes layered with moistened paper towels. To freeze, wilt or sauté spinach, drain, and put in freezer bags.
