Therapeutic Potential of Radish Microgreens for Metabolic Fitness

Radish [Raphanus sativus] being a fibre rich vegetable is consumed largely in Asian households but apart from a source of fibre, it holds immense potent therapeutics such as bioactive compounds, flavonoids, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, phenolic acids, vitamins and antioxidants. Due to the presence of these bioactive compounds, radish is being consumed to combat metabolic dysfunctions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, inflammation, also possessing anti cancerous and anti-oxidants properties. Radish microgreens possess all these phytochemicals up to manifolds and hence even small consumption of these microgreens regularly can help in improving glycemic control, regulation of lipid metabolism, attenuating oxidative stress, enhance insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular complications. However clinical investigations are still being made to explain its better uses and to validate its efficiency.
