Too many claims, too little sources to back it up; did big radish write this?

Yeah, this is the second post I've seen today regarding radishes.
Big Radish is on the move.
Just wait until you hear from Big Daikon.
Although sulforaphane research on cancer has been ongoing for many years, there is no good clinical evidence to indicate consuming sulforaphane-rich vegetables or dietary supplements provides any effect. Wikipedia
Hmm

They're called daikon.
I mean they're cool, but they're not that cool.
They're only rad-ish.
How dare you…take my dam upvote

Don't suppose you're actually a beaver?
I was using swipe typing and knew it was wrong when reading it. Then I was like fuck it and hit post anyway like a fucking madman. Felt good.

I just wish they tasted better.
why are people so obsessed with radishes
Someone has cornered the radish market.
The leaves are edible too,I use them in various recipes
The leaves are edible too,
I actually didn't know that
you don't feel that way when you have to make dozens of radish roses in culinary school

Was this written by a guy who is in love with, and does sleep with, radishes?
more than likely sulforaphene is more useful invivo studies rather than consumed, because the stomach acid will likely neutralize the effect the compound anyways.
contain vitamin C
Basically all plants do. Do radishes contain unusually much of it?

They also make your farts smell like rotten eggs if you eat too many of them.

And they're delicious.
Put a lil salt on em and its a genuinely great snack.
Well, until you get that one that's randomly hotter than the sun and turns your eyes and nose into gushing torrents, while you try not to cough it out in front of everyone else.
Always when you least expect it

Also one of the few foods that give me inexplicable instant acid foaming back up from my stomach. I'll eat habaneros for giggles, no problem, but a single one of those little round red monsters in a salad and I'm out.

If anyone here dislikes the peppery taste of raw radishes, I recommend cutting them into chunks, tossing with some olive oil, salt, and other seasoning and roast them until they are tender. This gets rid of the peppery taste and makes them taste more like potatoes or turnips.
The peppery taste is what I like most about radishes.

And they're by far the easiest vegetable to grow yourself, so much so that being called a 'radish farmer' is an insult.

To me, they taste like dirt. Like seriously - I'm not trying to be edgy here, that's just what they taste like to me. I'm also one of those "cilantro tastes like soap" people. Possibly related?
Have you tried quick pickling or just pickling, cut the radishes, spoon of sugar and vinegar for a few hours and that's it.
Basically the same thing as onion https://youtu.be/6VPkezPD0EE
I have not, but that does sound good. Might give that a try
Maybe most people just don't know what dirt tastes like? I don't know what dirt tastes like, I assume different dirt tastes different? Is there a universal dirt tastes? What's your favorite dirt? Maybe radishes only taste like the dirt where you live? Maybe you have radish flavoured dirt where you live?
I mean, they don't really taste like much on their own so perhaps you just need to clean them. They did come out of the ground, after all.
No, that's not it. I'm fastidious about cleaning my veggies. I guess I should clarify that I'm referring to those standard store-brand red radishes. I've had Daikon radishes as well and those taste fine to me
I also was referring to the normal red kind. To me, they taste like nothing. Like it's just a texture in my mouth. Same with mushrooms. Maybe I've just got fucked up tastebuds 🤔

Fresh radishes are very tasty. I like them better as a planty snack than carrots.
Thanks for reminding me to buy radish seeds. Radishes grow pretty quickly and yes, you can roast them and they are delish-- after roasting are less peppery but still good. I want to know if Daikon radishes also have these same properties.

You say they have no calories like that should make me more inclined to want to eat them. We are not all fat you know.
I do like radishes though.
