Bragging on Radishes


My husband is amazing. He lost 4 1/2 pounds last week! (It's taken me about 3 months to lose 4 1/2 pounds) So anyway, he's being very conscious of his food intake - one of his favorite snacks is the radish. And after I found out their only about 2 calories a piece, I decided to make it one of my favorite snacks too.


Here's more good news about radishes:
* High in Vitamin C
* Juice the Greens for Oodles more Vitamin C
* High in Phosphorus and Zinc, so their good for your skin!
* Reduces the risk of some cancers
* Good for your Urinary Tract
* Radishes are an anti-congestive
* Natural Breath Freshener
* Good for your Liver & Gall Bladder

I haven't tried this, but I read that they're really good sauteed and that if you sautee the greens with garlic their amazing. (That'll be tomorrow night for me!)

So eat up! At 2 calories each, enjoy!

    I've got a punnet of seeds, so guess what's going into the seed raising box tomorrow?

    Loved the facts and as I'm a newly-minted 'Juicer' the greens will be a new addition to my mix - when they finally grow - actually I think they're fairly speedy little numbers.

    Happy day!

    I do hope you had an amazing Easter. Radish are not one of my favourite 'munchie fillers'. The low calorie intake wish they were. Thanks for sharing. Take Care. Cheers SpecialK XoXo

    I sure do wish I liked them. And that I loved them. *sigh* Too peppery for me, but so beautifully enticing on the veggie platter. When I think of radishes, I think of my paternal Uncle John. He could eat radishes by the barrelful.
