YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They contain vitamin C, improve blood pressure, and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. Radishes contain almost no calories

    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?

      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

      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?

      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 🤔

      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.

        Mass has no direct relationship to calories. A gallon of water has 0 calories. A pound of salt has 0. Some things we eat provide necessary elements of nutrition but no energy/calories. Some things provide calories but have 0 nutritional value, like sugar. Most foods provide a mix of nutritional value and calories.

          Your comment is non-inclusive to trans personalities.
          For anyone that identifies as a black hole, all mass is calories.

      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

      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
