So I have a confession to make. Before I made this recipe I am pretty sure I had never tried a radish. True fact. How could this have happened? I have no idea! Radishes were just not a vegetable that was served in my house growing up. Very strange I know. And it turns out that I actually really like radishes! I feel like I have to make up for lost time or something. All those years of radish eating that I missed out on.
Since I just discovered the amazing taste of radishes I (of course) wanted to see what kind of health benefits this little vegetable has to offer.
Did you know that radishes are a great source of vitamin C, folic acid, potassium and the trace mineral molybdenum? And that radish leaves contain almost 6x the vitamin C as the root? Just another reason to use all parts of the radish!
I hope you like the recipe! This one is super easy so a great addition to week night meals that can be rushed.
