Radishes are crisp, edible root vegetables with a peppery flavor, belonging to the Brassicaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, they have long been a staple in global cuisines, from Japanese pickled daikon to European salads. Radishes come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, such as red, white, and black varieties. Packed with nutrients, they are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, promoting digestion, boosting immunity, and supporting heart health. Their natural antioxidants also help combat inflammation. Radishes contain compounds like glucosinolates, which may help protect against certain diseases. While generally healthy, people with thyroid issues should moderate their consumption due to goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function when eaten in excess. Radishes can be enjoyed raw, cooked, or pickled, making them versatile additions to meals around the world.
