What is this food?
Radish (pod) — a crunchy, low-calorie vegetable. For every 100g, it has about 33 kcal and around 2.1g fiber.
Why it matters to health
Radish (pod) is a good choice for everyday meals because it adds fiber (about 2.1g per 100g) to support regular digestion and help you feel satisfied. It also has low fat (0.1g) and very low sodium (8mg), which makes it easy to include in balanced meals. It has some natural carbohydrates and sugar (3.7g), but the overall calories stay light—great for adding volume to your plate without making your meal heavy.
Healthier tips
- Add radish (pod) to your ulam at lunch or dinner—start with about 1/2 to 1 cup (depending on your appetite and other viands).
- Pair it with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and whole grains (brown rice or half rice portion) for a more complete meal.
- For snacks, you can include radish (pod) in a simple fresh salad or as a side with low-sodium dip.
- If cooking, keep the sauce light (less salty bagoong/soy) so the sodium stays low.
