Black Radish, commonly called Spanish Black Radish, has been used as a food product since at least the time of the Pharaohs. In ancient times, Black Radish was used medicinally as a remedy for cough. Black Radishes are similar in appearance to turnips, but are darker in color. The flesh of the Black Radish is white, pungent, and dry. Black Radish is rich in Vitamin B, Vitamin C, sulfur, and fiber. It is an antioxidant and beneficial to digestion. Black Radish Root creates a tonic effect on the respiratory system, activates the liver cells, maintains a healthy gallbladder, aids digestion, facilitates a diuretic effect, is cleansing, is antibacterial, and is an excellent coadjutant for a hepatic colic by stimulating the secretion of bile. Being rich in Vitamin C, Black Radish root makes for an interesting ally during winter months to help fight off coughs, infections and free radicals. Additionally, its high fiber content increases peristaltic movements, and is a helpful laxative for constipation and bile movement.
