Did you know that <\/span>radish<\/b> leaves are edible? Indeed, whether it is red radish (the most widely used in Quebec), black, pink, mauve, Daikon, etc., its leaves can be cooked like spinach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that the radish has crossed all areas of time while changing over the course of its journey? It was part of the menu of the Babylonians and the Egyptians more than 4000 years ago, it served as an offering to the god Apollo among the Greeks, it was recommended by Charlemagne to his subjects for its excellent root and it was eaten “salt crunch” in Medieval times. With the Age of Enlightenment, black radish was introduced to France (but was not consumed until 200 years later) and in the 18th century, red radish made its appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purchase<\/u><\/h3>\n

Radish is available year round, but its season is from March to June, when its flavors are at their peak. Choose your radishes with firm, shiny roots and very green tops.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preservation<\/u><\/h3>\n

Ideally, consume your radishes the same day. Otherwise, place them in the refrigerator in the crisper for up to five days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/u><\/h3>\n

Radishes are ready in no time. Wash them, remove their tops and remove the rootlets. To avoid wasting anything, chop the tops and add them to your soups and salads. Eat your young radishes raw and cook your older ones or marinate them in vinegar. In any case, they require quick cooking in a wok, pan, steam or BBQ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nutritional Values<\/u><\/h3>\n

Just like leek, radish helps remove waste from the body. It is low in sodium and high in potassium, which makes it naturally diuretic. It is a good source of vitamin B9 (cell renewal) and vitamin C (immune system, collagen formation, nervous system and iron absorption). It is also very rich in water which makes it an appetite suppressant.<\/span><\/p>\n
