Are radish vegetables nutritious? What's the difference between eating radish and radish dishes?
First, the edible value of radish. Radish is one of the main vegetables in winter solstice and spring in Liaoning province, which can be stored until April-May of the following year. It is a very popular vegetable with excellent food and medicine. At present, many countries attach great importance to the development of radish food and have achieved gratifying results. However, China is almost blank in this respect. Most radishes are just for eating and using, and in some places, extra radishes are used as green feed for livestock and poultry. According to experts' analysis, if we can combine the actual resources and develop new radish food, the market prospect will be very attractive.

1. Juice type: Radish juice contains various vitamins and other nutrients beneficial to human body, and can be mixed with milk and juice to make milk radish beverage, radish juice beverage, radish cola, radish ice cream, etc. 2. Flour: choose the best radish to dry, grind into powder, mix in flour, and then add sugar, meat, onions, mushrooms and so on. Make radish bread, radish biscuits, radish cakes, etc. 3, diet: radish is rich in minerals, which is beneficial to children who are growing and developing, and has the effect of lowering cholesterol, which can reduce the occurrence of hypertension and coronary heart disease. Radish can be used alone or combined with other foods for dietotherapy. For example, radish juice made of radish juice and rock sugar can relieve middle energizer, promote digestion, eliminate phlegm, clear away heat and diminish inflammation. Radish mixed with some traditional Chinese medicines can be developed into radish health food series. Radish, also known as radish, is an annual or biennial herb dicotyledonous plant in Cruciferae. It is one of the main root vegetables in rural areas of China.

Second, the history of radish. Radish originated in China. There is a poem in the Book of Songs more than 3,000 years ago, which says, "It costs nothing to take Wei, and there is no afterbody". According to research, "Fei" is the ancient name of radish. Radish was originally a wild plant. From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period (about 1 1 century to the 6th century BC), agriculture in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River began to take shape, radishes were widely planted, and there were many wild radishes everywhere. During the famine, the hungry people dug wild radish to satisfy their hunger. The record of radish was as early as 2500 years ago> it has been described in. Youren Xu, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, praised radish like this: "Sweet as taro and crisp as pear. The old disease is stagnant and wonderful. " Xu Guangqi, an agronomist in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration: "Radishes are born in the ground, not vines. If it is a reed, it is not difficult to cook, and it is better to be hungry than to win meat. " However, neither radish nor radish had their ancestors in China. Radish first grew on the Eurasian coast of the Mediterranean, and was introduced to China from the western regions in ancient times. Radish has many names. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem: "Qiu Lai East Garden is full of frost and dew, and the leaves of children and grandchildren are mustard leaves." The radish in the poem, besides radish and aster, is one of the most beneficial vegetables.

Third, the use of radish. Radish yields are high. In addition to fresh food, rural farmers are also good at pickling spiced and spicy dried radish. Wash and slice the harvested radish, dry it to 70%, put it in a jar, put a layer of radish slices and a layer of salt, then apply some spiced powder and seal it layer by layer. After a month's pickling, the radish slices are golden and crispy, which farmers call "pickled vegetables" to serve cheap and good farmers. In addition, radish is rich in glucose, vitamin C, amylase, crude fiber and inorganic salts, as well as 10 and other nutrients. These ingredients are rich in glucoamylase, which can decompose starch and fat in food and make people fully absorb them. At the same time, radish also contains mustard oil, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, stimulate appetite and help digestion. When Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, lived in Huizhou, he personally planted radishes, mashed them and cooked them with rice, which was called "Jade Warm Soup" and wrote poems praising: "Qiu Lai is full of frost in the East Garden, and reeds have children and grandchildren; I am as full as He Zeng, and I don't know why I eat chicken and dolphins! " . I don't know when Nanjing people were called "big radish". I think it doesn't matter whether the nickname "Nanjing Radish" is praised or belittled. This is purely a documentary. Because Nanjing people are far from being smart, and the characteristics of simplicity, enthusiasm and conservatism are quite similar to radish, it is really appropriate to describe Nanjing people with radish. However, from the point of view of eating, this title is a bit misnomer, because Nanjing people prefer to eat a very small radish, which we call Huayang radish, both in the past and now. Huayang radish is small, round, deep red, lovely like a small lantern, usually less than an inch in diameter. The most common way to eat it is to eat it with sweet and sour cold. When the soaked radish is eaten in the mouth, it only feels that the mouth is slightly sweet and sour, and the mouth is full of clear fragrance, plus the crisp taste, which is really unique. In summer and autumn, radishes are on the market. Radish has the reputation of participating in winter. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone that you can eat delicious food and keep healthy. There are many ways to eat radish. The radish cake in your heart is a famous snack in Qinhuai. Crispy and delicious, with unique flavor. Radish and other dishes, such as roasted meat with radish and shredded radish mixed with jellyfish silk, are all delicious at home. Especially radish soup, whether it is ribs or shredded crucian carp, is a good dish and delicious. I also like to burn radish and tofu together. After the water in the pot is boiled, add a proper amount of salt, then add the sliced radish and cook it with tofu, because boiled radish will smell bad. Adding sesame oil and pepper before cooking is another taste. Radish can also be cut into strips and pickled, because it will make a crisp sound when eaten, so it also has a special name "radish circle". Pickled at home when I was a child. The radish rang and hung outside to dry. I couldn't help stealing it and was scolded by my parents. Radish with sweet and juicy taste and less spicy taste is best eaten raw. When traveling, you must want to eat green and tender carrots in the vegetable fields around the temples in the middle of the mountain. When you eat it, you will feel moist and cool, and immediately feel comfortable and refreshed. This feeling will never be forgotten by you. Fourth, the medicinal value of radish. Radish is not only a vegetable, but also has significant medicinal effects. Radish is pungent, sweet and cool, and has the functions of resolving food stagnation, resolving phlegm and clearing heat, lowering qi and regulating stomach, detoxicating, treating food stagnation and eliminating dysentery. It is a panacea for resolving food stagnation and regulating qi. Li Shizhen, a great pharmacologist in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Radish born in sandy soil is sweet, but born in barren land is hard and spicy. Its roots and leaves can be cooked and fermented in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, wax, soup and rice, which is the most beneficial among vegetables." Wang Zhen's agricultural book records: "There are four kinds of radishes: spring, summer, autumn and winter." Modern research shows that radish contains glucose, sucrose, fructose, double-stranded ribonucleic acid, vitamins and trace elements, which can regularly increase intestinal tension and peristalsis, shorten the residence time of food in the intestine, facilitate food metabolism and waste discharge, and achieve the effect of dieting without dieting. Radish contains less calories and more cellulose, and it is easy to feel full after eating, which helps to lose weight. Radish can also prevent diseases such as gallstones. In particular, double-stranded RNA can induce human body to produce interferon and increase immunity, which is of great significance for preventing cancer and other diseases. It can be seen that eating radish is really multifaceted! As for how to eat it, it is best to eat it raw, which can be cold, dipped in sauce, processed into kimchi or eaten as fruit. If you can insist on eating 50-100g raw radish every meal, you will get unexpected benefits. Carrots, white radishes and green radishes can all be eaten. By the way, although carrots and radishes belong to different families and genera in botany, they have similar effects, both of which contain carotene and some hypoglycemic ingredients, so it is good to insist on eating them. The ancients said, "Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for disease". Want to lose weight? Please eat radish. Because radish can be cooked with chicken, duck and shark's fin, it can be eaten cold or pickled into pickles, so there are various eating methods and practices circulating in court and among the people. In the medical works and health articles of past dynasties, radish is deeply loved by the people. Radish is a common vegetable, but it is a convenient and effective family medicine. As the saying goes, "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and don't seek medical advice." In China, there are many experiences in treating diseases with radish instead of medicine. Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you can stay healthy all year round. Chinese medicine has used radish as medicine for more than 1000 years, and dietotherapy herbal medicine says that it "benefits the five internal organs and makes you thin". It can be seen that radish can not only make people's body smart and vigorous by losing weight, but also have the effect of beautifying and rejuvenating the skin. 1, treatment of hypertension: fresh radish can be washed, chopped and mashed, and squeezed into a bowl, twice a day, with a small cup each time, which has antihypertensive effect. 2, treatment of indigestion: you can eat some raw radish at will, or 50 grams of radish seeds, stir-fry soup as tea. 3, treatment of sore throat: 300 grams of radish slices, plus 65438 green fruits +00 * * * decocted tea. 4.

Modern medical experts have found that radish also has anti-cancer effect. The lignin of white radish has the function of killing cancer cells, that is, decomposing carcinogenic nitrosamines, so that it loses its carcinogenic effect. It can be seen that ordinary radish is not only a seasonal vegetable, but also a good medicine. No wonder some people say that radish competes in winter and spring. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that carrots are sweet and flat in nature, and belong to the lungs and spleen. They have the effects of strengthening the spleen, resolving food stagnation, cooling down the fever, moistening the intestines and relaxing bowels, and stimulating appetite, which is of great value.
