Red Radish Calories
One cup of radish slices contains about 20 calories. A single radish contains about one calorie.
Flavor of Radishes
They are beautiful - red on the outside and white on the inside. They are also packed with flavor. Most of the radishes that I've eaten in my rather extended life have held a bite to them that wasn't pleasant. Simply put, it's challenging to find a mild-tasting radish, whether red or white.
Radish, a Garden Favorite
They are easily grown in the garden. They take well to warmer climates and grow quite quickly. But because of their 'bite' they don't tend to be a vegetable that is consumed on a regular basis.
Gas Factor of Radish, Vitamin & Mineral Stand-Outs
Based on one radish.
Even one large doesn't hold significant health benefits. The radish is more of a flavoring food than a powerhouse of essential nutrients.
One large does contain 2 milligrams of calcium, one IU of Vitamin A, a little over 1 milligrams of Vitamin C and 1 milligram of magnesium.
They are virtually a fat free, calorie free food that can add a lot of flavor to salad and vegetable trays.
