Daikon slices are made from daikon radish, a mild-flavored root vegetable popular in East Asian cuisine, particularly Japanese, Korean, and Chinese dishes. This versatile vegetable is low in calories, with just 18 calories per 100 grams, and is packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Daikon is known for its hydrating properties as it is high in water content, making it a refreshing addition to salads, soups, or pickles. Its natural enzymes, like amylase and diastase, may aid digestion, especially when paired with fatty or heavy foods. The thin slices retain a slightly crisp texture, offering a satisfying crunch to meals. Daikon is naturally low in fat and sugar, making it a healthy option for most diets. However, like other cruciferous vegetables, it may cause mild gas or bloating in sensitive individuals if consumed in large amounts.
