I mean they’re cool, but they’re not that cool.
They’re only rad-ish.
How dare you…take my dam upvote

Don’t suppose you’re actually a beaver?
That was way more clever than it had any right to be… Get out!
Too many claims, too little sources to back it up; did big radish write this?
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
The fact that this post continues to stay up is an indictment of Lemmy moderation
big radish
They’re called daikon.
Yeah, this is the second post I’ve seen today regarding radishes.
Big Radish is on the move.
Just wait until you hear from Big Daikon.
I just wish they tasted better.
Someone has cornered the radish market.
The leaves are edible too,I use them in various recipes
The leaves are edible too,
I actually didn’t know that
Fresh radishes are very tasty. I like them better as a planty snack than carrots.
more than likely sulforaphene is more useful invivo studies rather than consumed, because the stomach acid will likely neutralize the effect the compound anyways.
To me, they taste like dirt. Like seriously - I’m not trying to be edgy here, that’s just what they taste like to me. I’m also one of those “cilantro tastes like soap” people. Possibly related?
Maybe most people just don’t know what dirt tastes like? I don’t know what dirt tastes like, I assume different dirt tastes different? Is there a universal dirt tastes? What’s your favorite dirt? Maybe radishes only taste like the dirt where you live? Maybe you have radish flavoured dirt where you live?
Have you tried quick pickling or just pickling, cut the radishes, spoon of sugar and vinegar for a few hours and that’s it.
Basically the same thing as onion https://youtu.be/6VPkezPD0EE
I have not, but that does sound good. Might give that a try
I mean, they don’t really taste like much on their own so perhaps you just need to clean them. They did come out of the ground, after all.
No, that’s not it. I’m fastidious about cleaning my veggies. I guess I should clarify that I’m referring to those standard store-brand red radishes. I’ve had Daikon radishes as well and those taste fine to me
I also was referring to the normal red kind. To me, they taste like nothing. Like it’s just a texture in my mouth. Same with mushrooms. Maybe I’ve just got fucked up tastebuds 🤔
Those are true for me too. Does celery smell like medicine to you? It does me :|
And they’re delicious.
Put a lil salt on em and its a genuinely great snack.
Slice them thin, a tiny bit of salt and pepper, a dash of vinegar, let it rest on the fridge overnight.
Oh, so pickling them.
Not quite, right? You’re not drowning them in solution. But now I need to try fully pickling them.
They also make your farts smell like rotten eggs if you eat too many of them.
Sold
you don’t feel that way when you have to make dozens of radish roses in culinary school
contain vitamin C
Basically all plants do. Do radishes contain unusually much of it?
improve blood pressure
Higher or lower?
Higher or lower?

Flips your sistolic and diastolic, just for fun
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.
This is what I was looking for. How I make them taste better.
Sounds like that could get rid of the benefits like vit C as well.
Roasting them in a non-cast iron pan is the way to lose the least amount of vitamin C out of all available cooking methods. And to someone who won’t eat radishes if they aren’t cooked, they get more vitamin C eating them cooked than not eating them at all.
Anyway, eating a raw bell pepper is a wonderful way to get lots of vitamin C. Adishes are awsime anyway.
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.
It’s likely the sulforaphane, the compound that doesn’t actually fight cancer at all. Similar to the sulfur containing compounds in onions, it’s an irritant created when radish tissue is damaged to repel pests. In mammals, it irritates the lining of the digestive tract and causes the lower esophageal sphincter, which normally keeps stomach acid from refluxing, to relax.
Too bad they taste bad
Roast them
Ok…
