I added radish leaves to my breakfast this morning. We bought radishes yesterday at a store. Organic and local, they have the leaves attached. As I was checking out, the cashier told me she’d been told by a Persian guy that eating radish leaves are good for the respiratory system.
So I tried it. Tasted like grass, or wheat grass. I ate lawn grass back when I was a kid. I was curious and wanted to see what cows saw in it. Fortunately, we had little money and didn’t use anything on the lawn.
The radish leaves seemed to have an immediate effect on my airways, as congestion seemed to immediately drop. Could’ve just been a placebo effect, though.
Certainly was interesting to try.

I think there is something to that, about radish greens. I always notice clearer airways when I toss or steam radish leaves (I have sinusitis); sometimes we can taste a bit of the heat the radishes have, eating the greens raw.
Horseradish greens-those definitely will decongest! And I believe it’s the heat from the root, which is also delicious.

That’s fascinating. Never heard of it before but easy enough to try…

I figured the same. Ate them again today — three days, three times — and I another feeling that my congestion dissipated. Thanks for reading and commenting. Cheers
