It’s no joke. Rip those greens sitting atop carrots, parsnips, radishes, and what have you, and they will stay fresh. I don’t know why. I suspect that the greens have less staying power than their underground counterparts. When I topped off a radish, I noticed a tiny brown spot at the point of connection.
Yes, all those topped carrots, beets and other vegetables at the gourmet grocery store are probably losing the stay-fresh battle. Of course, they look much nicer and more deserving of their high price tag.
