ROASTED RADISHES
This simple roasted radish dish is a great side to any main meal. Radishes are part of the brassica family and come in various shapes and colours. They are pungent in flavour and some have more of a kick to them than others. You can also add the leaves of the radish in salads or use them any way you would use leafy greens.
Radishes are cooling in nature and help to promote digestion and reduce mucus in the body to clear sinuses and sore throats. They are high in vitamin C, magnesium, iron, antioxidants and aid in detoxifying the liver and gallbladder.
