An old Chinese saying says that "when radishes come onto the market people will not need to go to the pharmacies anymore."
And since the white radish with the nick name little ginseng does impart numerous health benefit I recently also started to use them in my golden treasure juices. More often I add radish to give my salads a punch of peppier taste and increase the health value while it's good to digestion and prevent constipation. I love to use this wonderful rot vegetable as it has a deliciously tangy taste, adds texture and crunch to any dish and also withstand long cooking times without losing its taste and texture and absorbs the flavor of the sauce, in other words perfect food for soups and stews, delicious!

I have to add that radish is a member of the now days famous cruciferous family, this great rot has the same cancer protective properties as the broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels and that's what is indicated in the researches I study about radish. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, folate, potassium and fiber when eaten and a good source of riboflavin, calcium, vitamin B6, magnesium, copper, and manganese. A lot of yummies. What I love with radish is that as with the carrots and other rot veggies they aren't spoiled easily a great plus for people who don't have much time to shop fresh food every three days.

*Radish can be unpredictable, some are mildly peppery but others can be pretty sharp. So it's good to test how strong the one you are going to use is not to be to surpriced!
