Radishes..

Treats Constipation
Radishes are very high in fiber, which means that they add considerable bulk to bowel movements, which promotes regular excretory patterns and relieve symptoms of constipation. They can also help to firm up loose bowels and get rid of loose stool or diarrhea. Furthermore, radishes are known to promote the production of bile. Bile is one of the most important parts of good digestion, and also helps to protect both the liver and gallbladde

Lowers Blood Pressure
Radishes are a very good source of potassium, which contributes to a large list of health benefits. Potassium has been positively connected to reducing blood pressure because when it interacts with the arterial supply of vascular beds, it can relax the blood vessels, and therefore increase blood flow. It reduces the blood pressure by widening the flow of the blood, instead of forcing it through narrow, constricted channels.

Protects Kidneys
As a diuretic, cleanser, and disinfectant, radishes help in the treatment of many kidney disorders. The diuretic properties help wash away toxins accumulated in the kidneys and decrease the accumulation of toxins in the blood. Their disinfectant properties protect the kidneys from any infections as well.

Hi @TIANDB I was a little surprised about radishes. I like to add them to salad because they are nice and crunchy, but I had a feeling they may be a bit high on the carbs as a root vegetable. I checked a couple of sources and they are about 2g/100, which is fine considering what 100g would look like! Also, high in fibre is good. Another thing that surprised me was that you can roast them like potatoes, but hugely less starch. Have you ever tried roast radishes?
