Did you know? Raddish tops are good for you

Did you know you can eat radish tops?

I have been getting radishes delivered in my organic produce delivery box to top our Lime Chicken Salads and Cuban Black Bean dish. I did a quick search to see if the tops were edible because I did not want to be wasting anything that I could be cooking with especially if it had a huge health benefit. I kick myself for not doing it sooner. Radish tops are good for you and easy to use in a salad or cooked up in a dish. Radish leaves contain almost six times the vitamin C content of their root and are also a good source of calcium. Try this tasty side dish below for a healthy low calorie way to make use of your radish tops.

Sauteed Radish Tops
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp. olive oil
2 cup radish tops

In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and radish tops and cook until the greens wilt and the garlic browns, about 3 min. Season with salt and pepper.
