Radishes

March 19th, 2012 Comments off

When looking at radishes we might think of lovely little rosebuds.

Radishes have existed for centuries though radishes then were not exactly the same as those we have today. They were used over 3000 years ago by the Chinese and later by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans for medicinal purposes.  Coughs and hemorrhages were the main conditions that were treated. They are very low in calories, rich in vitamins and minerals, iron and iodine.

To complement their spicy taste, eat them with butter or salt.  They make a delicious and nutritious snack, as an appetizer or in a mixed salad.
