About Radis

Radishes are root vegetables that likely originated in Southeast Asia and have been cultivated for thousands of years. These crisp, peppery vegetables are commonly used in salads, garnishes, and various cuisines worldwide, particularly in European and East Asian dishes. Nutritionally, radishes are low in calories (16 per 100g), high in water content, and a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and minimal amounts of calcium and iron. Their crunchy texture and mildly spicy flavor make them a refreshing addition to meals while providing essential nutrients with very few calories.

Health Benefits

• Supports immune health due to their high vitamin C content (14.8mg per 100g, covering 16% of the daily recommended intake).
• Aids digestion due to dietary fiber content (1.6g per 100g), which promotes gut health and regular bowel movements.
• Contributes to bone health with small amounts of calcium (25mg per 100g).
• Contains antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and support overall cellular health.
• Low calorie and high water content help with hydration and weight management.

Selection and Storage

Radishes should be stored in the refrigerator, ideally in a plastic bag, to retain moisture and crispness. Remove the greens before storing to prevent them from drawing moisture from the root.
