Come winter, and our hearts crave mooli ke paranthe, salads, pickles and what not. Not only is this root veggie in season in winters–so you can get the best quality–but it has also been a part of how we live and eat during this season.
So, while we’re sure you’ve been bingeing on mooli or radish-filled dishes, you probably didn’t know that this veggie actually gives your health quite a boost. Here are some of the health benefits you can garner from eating dishes dominated by mooli.
1. Aids digestion
Radish is chock full of dietary fibre, which helps with digestion issues. If you have enough mooli salad every day, your bowel movement will be smooth. What’s more, you won’t have any constipation with enough intake of radishes. Who knew radish is the secret to a happy and satiated tummy?
2. Fights cough and cold
While there is no cure for the common cold, and the cough that comes with it during winters, radishes can actually help you fight these ailments. This root veggie has anti-congestive properties, which help clear the mucus from your throat and respiratory tract. So, instead of reaching for a decongestant that’ll make you sleepy, indulge in some mooli.
