White radish may appear hard , firm by touching it but it is soft

when cooked in water based recipes.

Literally, the internal flesh is hard but once boil in water, it turn soft

as tofu.

White Radish taste raw, bland and a little bitter.

Hence, it is best cooked with soup or stew with seasoning as radish

absorbs flavor very quickly.

prefer mine in soups or mixed with Croaker fish stew.

Local Chinese people prefer to steam cakes with white radish or stir

fry radish with eggs and clams.

White radish is considered as a winter food because it is naturally

cold in nature.

The juice itself helps to detoxify toxin in the body which is best

blend in fruit blender with other vegetables .
