Radish

RADISH
     Radish (Raphanus sativus) exhibits a relatively limited vitamin profile, with the notable exception of ascorbic acid (28.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g). However, it is characterized by a significant concentration of mineral elements, specifically: vanadium (463.0% DV per 100 g), boron (143.0%), silicon (130.0%), cobalt (30.0%), lithium (23.0%), chromium (22.0%), molybdenum (21.0%), copper (15.0%), potassium (10.0%), and calcium (10.0%). The nutritional profile is further distinguished by its total phytosterol content (12.7% DV). Sucrose (0.1 g per 100 g) and starch (0.3 g) are present only in minor quantities.
     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 3.3% of the daily allowance.
     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is negligible (0.3 mg), representing 0.08% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
