Radish Sprouts Seeds.jpg






Radish sprouts, like Mustard, Cress and Broccoli, is a member of the Brassica family which are renowned for their high content of antioxidants. Radish can be grown as a vertical sprout ie a Micro-Green in shallow trays (top picture), or as a loose sprout. In the picture we have used loose coconut fibre with a teaspoon of concentrated liquid seaweed.

The middle picture shows where the Radish has been mixed 50-50 with Fenugreek. Radish has a very strong bighting flavour so I would suggest using it sparingly e.g. when growing them as loose sprouts my preferred method is to mix them e.g. Alfalfa, Broccoli, Fenugreek 50 mil of each, with 25 mil of Radish. This gives you two full colanders of yummy tangy sprouts.

Radish sprouts are very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Vitamin A, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron and Copper, and a very good source of Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Manganese.

The bottom Pic. shows them being grown in our new light stand.

Radish can also be grown to a full plant.

 

Research Abstract:- RADISH SPROUTS VERSUS BROCCOLI SPROUTS: A COMPARISON OF ANTI-CANCER POTENTIAL

"Radish sprouts and broccoli sprouts have been implicated in having a potential chemoprotective effect against certain types of cancer. Each contains a glucosinolate that can be broken down to an isothiocyanate capable of inducing chemoprotective factors known as phase 2 enzymes. In the case of broccoli, the glucosinolate, glucoraphanin, is converted to an isothiocyanate, sulforaphane, while in radish a similar glucosinolate, glucoraphenin, is broken down to form the isothiocyanate, sulforaphene. When sprouts are consumed fresh (uncooked), however, the principal degradation product of broccoli is not the isothiocyanate sulforaphane, but a nitrile, a compound with little anti-cancer potential. By contrast, radish sprouts produce largely the anti-cancer isothiocyanate, sulforaphene. The reason for this difference is likely to be due to the presence in broccoli (and absence in radish) of the enzyme cofactor, epithiospecifier protein (ESP). In vitro induction of the phase 2 enzyme, quinone reductase (QR), was significantly greater for radish sprouts than broccoli sprouts when extracts were self-hydrolysed. By contrast, boiled radish sprout extracts (deactivating ESP) to which myrosinase was subsequently added, induced similar QR activity to broccoli sprouts. The implication is that radish sprouts have potentially greater chemoprotective action against carcinogens than broccoli sprouts when hydrolysed under conditions similar to that during human consumption."
