      Although sulforaphane research on cancer has been ongoing for many years, there is no good clinical evidence to indicate consuming sulforaphane-rich vegetables or dietary supplements provides any effect. Wikipedia

      Hmm

      Yeah, that claim is pretty dubious.
      If it has almost no calories, then it has almost no mass.
      To get the approximate amount of calories in a piece, just measure its weight to get the mass (M in kg) and use the formula M * c * c * 0.2390057, where c is the speed of light in m/s.

      really?

      raw? I’ve been eating radishes for years - the red ones mostly - and haven’t had this.

      I certainly have broccoli farts tho, and asparagus pee.

      pickled - kimchi for example - oh heck yeah but that’s a lot of fermenting

    contain vitamin C

    Basically all plants do. Do radishes contain unusually much of it?

    improve blood pressure

    Higher or lower?

    Also one of the few foods that give me inexplicable instant acid foaming back up from my stomach. I’ll eat habaneros for giggles, no problem, but a single one of those little round red monsters in a salad and I’m out.

    I mean they’re cool, but they’re not that cool.

    They’re only rad-ish.

    If anyone here dislikes the peppery taste of raw radishes, I recommend cutting them into chunks, tossing with some olive oil, salt, and other seasoning and roast them until they are tender. This gets rid of the peppery taste and makes them taste more like potatoes or turnips.

    You say they have no calories like that should make me more inclined to want to eat them. We are not all fat you know.

    I do like radishes though.

      As someone who tries desperately to bulk, fitness/health marketing is so frustrating.

      I need calories, these small portion minimal fat and calorie bull shit foods low-key piss me off.

    And they’re by far the easiest vegetable to grow yourself, so much so that being called a ‘radish farmer’ is an insult.

      They’re easier than zucchini? Does that make keeping radishes from taking over their entire plots actually kind of difficult or do they just grow perfectly only where you plant them?

      I would still mess it up.

      Not really it is those wascally wabbits and deer. Poor soil too.

        Pro tip: sprinkle your piss in the garden regularily, it works at fertilizer and keeps deer and possibly most other herbivorous mammals at bay. If you have neighbors, it’s recommendable to, uh, collect it in the bathroom into a jar or jug instead of doing it on spot.

        No this is not a joke, the deer haven’t eaten my plants nearly as often when I started deterring them with this.

          I’ve heard that man piss keeps a lot of animals away. The testosterone in it wards off many animals, including predators if you have chickens (I did last year, first my dog killed some, then a bear killed all, presumably a bear. Going with Guinea Hens this spring instead)

          No neighbors to speak of here, I will start peeing out there and hope it works, I am most concerned with protecting my apple seedlings I am going to start shortly, previous years fruit trees get eaten.
