Radishes are a naturally cooling food and their pungent flavor is highly regarded in
eastern medicine for the ability to decrease excess heat in the body that can build up
during the warmer months.

Their pungent flavor and natural spice can help eliminate excess mucus in the body and
can be especially helpful when fighting a cold. Radishes can help clear the sinuses and
soothe soar throats too.

Radishes are a natural cleansing agent for the digestive system, helping to break down
and eliminate stagnant food and toxins built up over time.

Because of their high vitamin C content and natural cleansing effects, regular consumption
of radishes can help prevent viral infections.

In Eastern and Ayurvedic healing practices radishes are said to have effective toxin-
purging effects, helping break down and eliminate toxins and cancer-causing free radicals
in the body.

As a member of the cruciferous vegetable family (same family as broccoli and cabbage)
radishes contain phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins and minerals that are cancer protecting.

Radishes have a calming effect on the digestive system and can help relieve bloating and
indigestion.

With a very low calorie count, less than 20 calories in an entire cup, radishes are a great
way to add nutrients, fiber and tons of flavor to your meals without compromising your
health.

With a high water content and lots of vitamin C as well as phosphorus and zinc, radishes
are a nourishing food for the tissues and can help keep your body hydrated and your skin
looking fresh and healthy all summer long!

Funny, after reading this post I was diagnosed with anemia and put on an iron
supplement. I amped up my radishes (because I love them) and now I’m doing
well eliminating my need for meds. (Do not discontinue your meds without
consulting your doctor).

I was diagnosed with severe anemia about 2 months ago when the lab
accidentally ran the wrong blood tests (thank goodness for that mistake).
Around the same time frame I started eating radishes morning, noon, and night. I
craved them from the moment I woke up, and went through on average 10
bunches a week. (I have never been a huge fannif them, but didn’t dislike them
either). I seriously thought I must be crazy, when that’s all I would eat for a meal,
crusty French bread, unsalted butter, radishes sliced thin and maldano salt
sprinkled on top. As my iron levels have started to come back up I notice I’m not
insanely craving them anymore. It’s all so strange because while radishes are
very healthy, they don’t contain any iron. Apparently eating ice cubes is a
symptom of anemia, so I wonder if the crunch of radishes replaced ice cubes for
me…

Anytime you’re cooking a vegetable or fruit you’ll lose some of it’s

I recently started boiling them till they are slightly tender adding a little salt

I think I’ll try steaming them today to keep the nutrients in but I like to cook the
flavor into them which steaming doesn’t allow.

my peach yogurt mixed with bananas, strawberries and blueberries. I couldn’t
believe how great it tasted. The radishes added a nice crunch to the mix and
actually tasted sweet (not like a radish at all). This will be a great way to put
radishes into my children’s diet. They will probably think they are eating

I knew I loved radishes, but even more now that I know the health benefits of the
spicy little veggie. I just added sliced radishes to my daily protein ritual of eggs,
veggies and turkey. I saute onions, mushrooms, and now radishes, mix in some
nitrate free turkey, and egg beaters. Then I toss in some fresh spinach, and have
a great meal that keeps me going all afternoon.

I stumbled upon mashed radishes over the winter – way better than white
potatoes!

I like making a nice salad with Romaine leaves, Spinach leaves, Kale leaves, and
Arugula leaves, then adding other vegetables including raw cauliflower, pieces
of broccoli from a broccoli crown, tomato, sometimes green pepper, black &
green olives, marinated artichoke, haas avocado–when it’s ripe, and when I can,
some radishes, either sliced, or the slices chopped into matchsticks. Those who
don’t care for an item can have a smaller portion of that item, but still get some
of the health benefits from these items. Taste buds change over time, and my
wife never liked the texture of avocados, but is now fine with them. If you know
of someone who thinks they don’t like radishes, this is a more not-threatening
approach to re-introducing people to radishes. Another way is making a
vegetable soup with some brown rice, barley, and just about every vegetable
imaginable, including radishes cut in matchstick pieces. I make a large pot of
soup, put unused soup in leftover containers and date and store in a chest
freezer. If I need a fast meal to take for lunch, I have something I can grab in a
hurry. I like chicken in mine, heavy on a wide variey of vegetables. That is one
way to “eat the rainbow.”

I add radishes to my nightly salad. This week, the grocery had a bundle of
radishes twice as big as usual. After topping and washing them, I didn’t see how
I could eat that many radishes this week just in salads. I had spaghetti for dinner
one night and as I was sauteeing chopped onions, celery, and green bell pepper
to add to the marinara sauce, I decided to also sautee some chopped radishes.
An excellent decision! Added nutrients and just a subtle spicy taste. Later in the
week, I made stirfry over rice, and I added chopped radishes to other veggies in
the wok. And once again, we were happy with the results. I’m glad warm weather
is finally here because I intend to eat a lot more radishes this year.

this site to see what nutritional value radishes have because I normally don’t like
them raw. I am definitely adding them to my vegetable soups, roasts, and try to
see if when boiled by itself and add a little butter if they will taste like a baked

As a Mexican i was brought up eating lots of radishes, usually in salads or on

My favorite way to eat them is slice a bunch (thinly) and put them in a deep small
container and squeeze a whole lemon or maybe a lemon and a half, add some
salt, and let the acid in the lemon cook them. They lose their ‘bite’ and are
delicious you can eat a whole cup or more. I usually let them sit in the lemon for

I am a facial tumor cancer survivor and cannot get enough radishes each day.
They are good with sea salt & a little cream cheese to dip into. YUM!!!

I must admit that I had to chuckle when I read the the following – “pushed
around on crudité platters until they’re all that’s left and then drowned in ranch
dressing”…because that is exactly the snack I was eating when I starting
reading the article….LOL! How can you not love radishes? Never had them
cooked before…something new to try!

Indeed. Have you tried the watermelon radish? Large, but mild with a
beautiful pink to cream center.

I enjoy radishes raw and sliced in a salad of romaine lettuce with some smoked
Nova salmon and a tbsp of melted butter. Absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Once I saw a salad at a hospital cafeteria containing black beans, radishes,


onion, cilantro and dressing. Yum

Last week ,for no reason at all, I started having this insatiable craving for ‘dirt’
….and the Radish was the only vegetable that would satisfy that craving…..so, I
decided to google ‘the nutrients in radish’…. so, I will keep on eating this
amazing little vegetable………I never liked radish before this, now I love them.

Radishes are amazing and delicious, plus they’re packed full of tasty
minerals and vitamins.

Not to sound rude or weird or anything but you may want to go check
to see if you’re anemic, usually if you have iron deficiency you crave
dirt, or clay… just a suggestion :/

I was astonished when I read your comment about craving


radishes when you have anemia. I have been suffering with
severe anemia and am waiting for hematologist to prescribe
meds for me. I have been craving and chowing down on
radishes for weeks. I can’t seem to get enough of them. I
couldn’t figure out why. I’ve been eating a bowl full for lunch,
dinner and snacks. I can’t seem to get them off my mind.
When I say I eat them for meals I mean they are all I eat for
some meals. I don’t even want to eat anything else. I wonder
do radishes help to cure anemia? Thank you so much for
your post. A doctor told me years ago that if you CRAVE
something that bad, it’s your body telling you that you are
lacking something, and to absolutely eat whatever it is until
you are satisfied. Wow, I guess so! The light bulb went off for
me.

I always thought, that they were good for u… But now I know for sure…
Yesterday, was feeling like I was catch the flu or something… Throat feeling a lil
sore, and earlier I made coleslaw and was eating them as well as slicing them
and as I just read about these radishes I’m realizing that, the sickness is
disapating…that I don’t feel sick at all…..wow…. Thank u GOD… He’s good…
The things that come from the earth natural is always better than any man made
medicine or syrup any day… And this is yet again a… Gee whiz, moment!!! GOD
has a purpose for everything… And everything for a purpose!!!

i wash the radishes thoroughly, thinly slice them with skin on, sprinkle salt and
squeeze them, then i grate a thumb sized ginger, mince red onions then add it to
the radishes and sprinkle a little pepper. sooo yummy i could eat half a bunch of
it.
