Radish
What it is
This entry covers the edible radish represented by the USDA raw-radish record. It does not describe radish seeds, sprouts or an isolated radish-derived compound.
What it does
The raw reference supplies 14.8 mg of vitamin C and 1.6 g of fiber per 100 g. Vitamin C supports normal collagen production and helps with absorption of iron from plant foods.
Research context and ingredient forms
The measured vitamin C content is not evidence that a particular serving treats an illness. A pickled, dried or cooked radish food also needs preparation-specific information.
Using this information
Use edible raw radish weight with this table. For pickled radishes, include the product-specific sodium and other added ingredients instead of applying the raw profile unchanged.
