Radish greens are the leafy tops of radish plants, often overlooked but highly nutritious. They are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and fiber, making them a valuable addition to a balanced diet. With a slightly peppery and earthy flavor, radish greens are a staple in Indian, Mediterranean, and East Asian cuisines, often used in salads, stir-fries, soups, or blended into sauces and pestos. These greens are also known for their antioxidants, which may support immune health and reduce inflammation. Being low in calories, they are a great choice for those looking to maintain or lose weight. However, like other leafy greens, they contain oxalates, which can interfere with calcium absorption if consumed in excess. Radish greens offer a sustainable way to make the most of the radish plant, turning food waste into a nutrient-packed culinary gem.
