It is believed that radishes made their first appearance in China around 500 BC. The ancient Chinese selectively bred them until they developed a variety with a milder taste and a long root.
Historic Uses:
Eating fresh radish before mealtime improves digestion and eliminates acidity and wind. Eating radish daily is very effective in preventing eyesight ailments.
