Radishes

Radishes are well-known for their spicy flavor and crunchy texture. Furthermore, vitamins B and C, as well as potassium, are abundant in radishes.

Isothiocyanates, a sulfur-containing compound that has been linked to a variety of health benefits, are responsible for its peppery taste. In the body, these potent plant compounds act as antioxidants, reducing inflammation. Radishes have been studied extensively for their cancer-fighting properties. In fact, isothiocyanate-rich radish extract inhibited the growth of human breast cancer cells in a test tube study. This effect has also been seen in colon and bladder cancer cells in test tubes and animals. Despite the promising results, more human research on the potential cancer-fighting powers of radishes are needed.
