Freshness Test
Look for radishes with a nice red color to them. If the radishes you buy come with greens on the top, then cut them off to ensure the nutrients are not drawn from the radish to the leaves.
Important
Radishes and radish sprouts should always be mixed with other vegetables as the taste can be a little bit strong. Only use a small amount such as a small handful.
General
Since radishes have a strong taste, it's nice to mix radishes with apple juice, carrot juice, etc.
