Radishes
Note from Cheri:
Radishes are highly underrated. How often do you
actually think about picking up a bunch of these
zippy, spicy, nutritious vegetables, let along
cook with them? We want to change all that with
a little help from the Radish Council, who was
kind enough to share some of their favorite radish
recipes with us. |

When buying radishes, select those that are smooth and brightly
colored. They should be hard to the touch. Soft or spongy radishes
indicate an old product.
Keep radishes refrigerated. They will keep longer if you store
them with their tops trimmed and they'll keep even longer if you
have a Mrs. Green's
Extra Life Disk in your produce drawer).
Seven radishes have only twenty calories and they're fat free,
so they won't add to waistline. They also fall within the guidelines
of most low carbohydrate plans as well. Low in sodium, radishes
will provide about 30% of your daily recommended allowance of
Vitamin C.
