Radishes are also known as a very good food for detoxifying the liver. Radishes contain a lot of vitamin C, antioxidants such as catechin, pyrogallol, vanillic acid, phenolic compounds... which help to excrete waste in the body and protect cells from damage.
Diabetics eat radish very well.
Diabetics should add this food to their daily meals. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that plays a role in absorbing glucose. Diabetics cannot absorb the insulin produced by the body or cannot produce insulin, radish can be a solution. Radish is high in fiber, has a low glycemic index, and does not increase blood sugar after eating. This is especially beneficial for diabetics who often eat foods rich in sugar and starch.
How to choose white radish - autumn ginseng
To choose delicious white radish, Ms. Thu shares:
+ Note the size of the white radish: To choose delicious radishes, choose a radish of moderate size that is sweet and crunchy. Too big radishes often have hollow insides. With small radishes, the growth cycle is often very short, not fully developed, they have a pungent taste and are not sweet. When holding a radish, the heavier it is, the more moisture it contains.

+ Pay attention to the leaves of the radish
The leaves of the radish are still green, meaning the radish has just been harvested recently and is still fresh. If the radish has no leaves or the leaves are showing signs of yellowing, you should not choose it because it has often been picked for a long time and will easily be hollow or black.
+ Note the skin of the radish
The smoother and shinier the skin of the radish, the better it is developed, the more water and sweetness it has. It can also be stored for a longer time without showing signs of deterioration. Those with shriveled or damaged skins should not be chosen.
