RADISH LOVE

I generally tend to avoid refined carbohydrate wherever possible as such foods have little nutritional value and contribute to weight gain. Starches I find have their place place during the winter months i.e. squashes and sweet potatoes but I do love moving into the warmer months where these can be replaced with a lighter side dish. Hence I am delighted with my new discovery of roasted radishes which provide a fabulous alternative to potatoes and boast an array of health benefits which include being packed with vitamin A, B6, C, E and K. They are also high in fibre and antioxidants as well as being mineral rich.
