Reasons to “Eat Your Radishes”
While many vegetables have been pushed upon us at the dinner table as kids,
you don’t often hear “eat your radishes honey.” Broccoli, spinach, green
beans and asparagus are the more common culprits, but it might be worth
adding radishes to the repertoire. As a cruciferous vegetable like broccoli,
radishes have a host of health benefits but are typically under-appreciated –
pushed around on crudité platters until they’re all that’s left and then
drowned in ranch dressing to wash them down.
However, for both their health benefits and amazing array of flavors radishes
top our list of foods to start paying more attention to and eating on a daily
basis. Especially in the spring and early summer when they grow locally and
can be picked at their height of freshness and flavor, radishes should be a
staple item in your kitchen.
Beyond the natural zing and satisfying crunch they provide, here are
some good reasons to “eat your radishes!”
Naturally cooling
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.
Sooth sore throats
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.
Aids digestion
Radishes are a natural cleansing agent for the digestive system, helping to
break down and eliminate stagnant food and toxins built up over time.
Prevents viral infections
Because of their high vitamin C content and natural cleansing effects, regular
consumption of radishes can help prevent viral infections.
Eliminates toxins
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.
Protects against cancer. If you research, the white radishes are
packed with health benefits as well.
NOW! Pick up that bag of radishes and get crunch'n!

you could spread apart and seems there was always canisters
kept above the stove on a shelf.
