Daikon Radish is my daily vegetable and super vegetable to keep you healthy.
Nutrients:
Daikon leaves vitamins A, C, E, potassium, and calcium.
Daikon (white part): an enzyme called diastase and phytochemical called isothiocyanates.
Daikon helps improve digestion and relieve heartburn. Also, daikon cures your hangovers!
Isothiocyanates in daikon (more in grated daikon) have peppery and pungent qualities. It helps to control blood pressure, blood circulation, and the anti-inflammation effect.
