Golden Treasure Juice with "the little ginseng"

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 discovered that white radish is beneficial to symptoms of cold, clear stuffy nose, respiratory problems and that makes my juice perfect during winter when many suffer from those ailments and made this recipe as a winter booster coctail . To make an even stronger anti inflammatory drink I added curcumin which is proved to be a superspice.  So add radish to your juice to help clear sinus cavities and calm a sore throat when you are sick. My Golden treasure juices are also good in strengthening the immune system as they content good amount of carotenoides, vitamin C, A, E, K potassium, manganese and many others which help to make the healthy cocktails good immunity booster and good cancer fighters! 


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.
