Radish (Mooli)

Radish, known as “mooli” in many South Asian regions, is a crisp and peppery root vegetable that is widely consumed for its distinct flavor and nutritional benefits. Scientifically named Raphanus sativus, radishes come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, with the most common being the round, red radish.

Radishes are low in calories and a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C), and minerals such as potassium. They contribute to hydration as they have a high water content.
