What's better than a low carb, low calorie, crunchy snack that's packed with vitamin C? Try them sliced thinly with grilled chopped chicken, fresh mozzarella pieces, tomatoes, red onions, & black olives. The crisp snap of the radish pairs excellently with the grilled chicken mix tossed with your favorite dressing. One cup of sliced radishes has roughly 19 calories and just traces of carbs.
Why else are radishes good for you?
- vitamin C helps the body to rebuild tissues, protect against immune deficiencies & cardiovascular disease
- they are rich in ascorbic acid, folic acid, & potassium (good for blood pressure)
- good for the liver and stomach to eliminate toxic waste
- flushes out the urinary and kidney
- radishes are filling so you can rack up points on something else later
- great for attacking cancer cells
- high in fiber
- good for respiratory disorders
- great snack for diabetics (will not impact blood sugar levels)
- packed with water to keep you hydrated
It's the quiet underrated vegetable that gets hidden in the crowd but this little red ball packs a healthy punch.
