What is this food?
Boiled radish is a crunchy root vegetable cooked in water until tender. It’s low in calories and naturally light in taste, so it’s easy to add to meals and soups.
Why it matters to health
Radish helps support digestive health because it has dietary fiber (about 0.4 g per 100 g). It also provides some carbohydrates and natural sugars, but the overall calories stay low (about 15 kcal per 100 g). The sodium is also quite low (about 15 mg), which is helpful for keeping meals balanced. Since it’s low in fat and cholesterol, it won’t add much to your daily fat intake.
Healthier tips
- Pair boiled radish with a complete meal: add it to rice meals with viand (fish/chicken/egg) and vegetables for better balance.
- Use it as a side or add to soup/ulam—aim for it as part of your 3 full meals and include vegetables in your 1–2 snacks when possible.
- If you’re watching sodium, avoid adding salty sauces; flavor with garlic, onions, herbs, or a squeeze of calamansi.
- For better fullness, combine radish with fiber-rich foods (like leafy greens or beans) rather than relying only on radish.
