Generic Red Radishes Holland, 125g (Approx)

Red Radishes are more pungent and sharp as compared to the popular white ones but are not nutritionally deficit at all. In fact, the anthocyanins that are responsible for the blush red colour make them more nourishing than the white varieties. The red radishes pack quite a punch when it comes to flavour and nutrition! In fact, since the ancient times the radish has been known to have many health benefits. There is even a Chinese proverb dedicated to radishes which states, &eating pungent radish and drinking hot tea, let the starved doctors beg on their knees." The pungency in radishes can be attributed to isothiocyanate which is very intense in red radishes. These are rich in antioxidants such as sulforaphane and Vitamin C. Better digestion, glowing skin, stronger hair are only a few benefits of consuming red radishes. Radishes are extremely useful in treating jaundice, piles, urinary disorders, and liver dysfunctions too. It also makes for an effective cure for constipation and enhances immune system as well.
