Radishes

For those who haven't tried radishes since low-carbing... try them. I
used to dislike the way they tasted pre-LC, but now with my improved
tastebuds, I've been making an effort to retry vegetables even though in the
past I've disliked them.

Anyway, this weekend I had some radishes. They were super! The texture so
crisp and fresh. The flavor was good. I ate some plain, and dipped some in
ranch dressing. What a wonderful cool summer snack.

They're relatively inexpensive. I bought a large bunch of radishes for 50
cents (that was regular price, not a sale price). The leaves are also
edible, I'm going to add them to my salad.

They are low in calories and carbs.

Here is the nutrition info for 10 large radishes:
Calories 12
Protein 0.35 grams
Carbohydrates 2.0 grams
Dietary Fiber 1 gram
Potassium 134.56 mg
Folate 15.66 mcg

Yum!

Do you find you have trouble with heartburn after you eat them? I love the
taste of radishes, but I've been afraid to try them again because they used
to give me such nasty heartburn.

They didn't give me any heartburn.
Have you tried them since starting low carb? I haven't found anything that
gives me heartburn since low-carbbing.

Haven't tried them since low carbing. I'll have to give them another try.
Maybe if I tried the smaller ones.

Thanks.

Try sauteeing/frying them - really good, no burps or bite. Taste a bit like
potatoes this way.

Ooooh, sounds yummy! Thanks for the idea!

Radishes - good idea. They are inexpensive this time of year. Especially at
the fruit and veggie stands.

OK I try to resist writing a JC kind of response when I read posts
like this, but it sure is hard sometimes. Radishes are on the
approved list of 10% carbohydrate vegetables that anyone could have
eaten during Induction and beyond.

It seems that some folks may inflict restrictions on themselves never
intended by the rules of the diet. Reading it does a body good.

??? Where the hell did you read anything about the OP restricting herself? She
just plain didn't like the taste of them before!
And now - she is experimenting. Not changing her dietary restrictions.

Sheesh.

Yes, I'm aware they are allowed. I wasn't avoiding them because of LC, I
was avoiding them because I didn't like the way that they used to taste to
me.

I think you misunderstood my first sentence. When I said for those who
haven't tried radishes since low-carbing... I meant people who haven't eaten
them recently because, like me, they didn't like them. But with new LC
tastebuds, they might now enjoy them.
