Nutrition

Radishes, like many salad vegetables, have a high water content and are therefore not nutrient dense. They are not consumed in high enough amounts to make a significant contribution nutritionally with the exception of vitamin C which they are a good source of. The main phytonutrients in radishes are the glucosinolates (also found in broccoli and cabbage) and anthocyanins in the red skin varieties.
