Radish is a crop belonging to the cabbage family. It is a representative vegetable that eats not only the root but also the leaves. In Korea, many varieties of white, large and long roots are cultivated. Depending on the region, it is called a myriad or a mushi. Radish is very low in calories with 13kcal per 100g and is rich in various nutrients, which is helpful for healthy weight loss. Let’s find out about the mu again.

◆ Healthy food with low calories… A ‘healthy’ diet

Radishes have a wide range of uses, such as being eaten raw or cooked and dried. The upper part of the radish is exposed to the sun and has a sweet taste, so it can be eaten raw or as a salad. The middle part is sweet and spicy, so it is used for soup or stew. The lower part of the radish has a spicy and bitter taste, so it is mainly used for pickling or stir-frying.

Radish is very low in calories with 13kcal per 100g, rich in dietary fiber (fiber), and contains many minerals such as calcium and potassium. Vitamin C is 20 ~ 25mg, water is about 94%, protein 1.1%, fat 0.1%, carbohydrate 4.2%, and various medicinal ingredients, so it can be used in a relatively healthy diet.

◆ What is the reason for reducing harmful wastes in the body? Rich in diastase, good for digestion

Radish has a lot of diastase and ferruokistase that promote digestion and absorption of food, reducing harmful wastes in the body and helping to prevent stomach pain and mucosal ulcers. Even if you take it on an empty stomach in the morning, there is no adverse effect. The skin contains twice as much vitamin C as the inside of a radish. Phytochemicals have an excellent antioxidant function that reduces oxidation (damage) of the body, and helps suppress aging and disease.

◆ Radish greens (Siraegi) is rich in calcium and vitamin C… Helps with menopausal bone health

Rarely is there anything to throw away. Radish stems and leaves, radish greens, are high in calcium and are helpful for bone health, such as preventing osteopenia. Dried radish greens, Siraegi, has a higher calcium content. It is good for menopausal women who have a decrease in the amount of bones to eat often. Radishes are also high in vitamin C, which slows down cell aging and contributes to boosting immunity.

◆ Divided into spring radish, summer radish, and autumn radish according to harvest time

Radish is divided into spring radish, summer radish, and autumn radish according to the harvest time (cultivation period). Spring radish is sown in March-April and harvested in May-June. Summer radish is sown in May-June and harvested in July-August. In summer, it can only be cultivated in highlands, so it is also called ‘highland radish’. The price is high because there is not a lot of cultivation. The radish planted in mid-August and harvested in November is called ‘kimjang radish’ because it is used a lot in making kimchi.
