Radishes

Radishes

The Basics

The radish is a root vegetable that was first domesticated in Europe. Varieties come in red, pink, white, gray-black, and yellow. The taproot is the most commonly eaten portion and is usually eaten raw, often as a tasty salad addition. Although, the entire plant is edible, including the tops, which can be used as a leaf vegetable. (Read more about radishes on Wikipedia.)

Storage Tips

Store root veggies in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.

Nutrition

Radishes are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, folate, and potassium. One half cup contains only 9 calories! (See more radish nutrition facts on Self.com.)
