Benefits of Raddish
May 3rd 2008 08:41
We seldom think of the simple radish as a source of nutrition. As close look reveals that it is largely made up of water (more than 90 per cent) yet contains as much potassium as bananas and about half the ascorbic acid of oranges. Radish is also an excellent source of vitamin C, folate and a good source of magnesium. It cures stomach aches, abdominal distension, flatulence or gas formation, loss of appetite and constipation. It is also used in the treatment of piles, obstruction in urinary flow and renal stones. Chewing on a radish instantly cures hiccups. Known for its excellent cooling properties, radish can be stuffed in rotis dough. Cut radish into cubes and fry well with red chillies, channa dal, urad dal till its raw smell disappears. Grind this with some salt tamarind and coconut for some tasty chutney.
Each vegetable has a unique flavour and value. How much we consume is more important than how we consume it. Eat as many vegetables you can and you will definitely notice a positive change in your health.
