✦ Very low calorie ✦ Vitamin C ✦ Glucosinolates ✦ Folate source

Red radishes are small, peppery roots from the brassica family, with crisp flesh and an edible skin that holds most of the colour and bite. They are very low in calories and provide vitamin C, folate and glucosinolates linked to the brassica group.

Preparation note

Eat raw and whole to keep the skin intact, as cooking softens the texture and degrades much of the vitamin C and pungent sulphur compounds.
