just learned that you should not buy these three kinds of radishes. The vegetable vendors themselves never eat them. The sooner you understand, the sooner you will benefit.

As the saying goes, "autumn radish rivals ginseng", this is not empty talk. As a popular food in autumn and winter, radish has many excellent qualities, including low price, shelf-stable, high nutritional value and various ways of eating. Just list any of its advantages and it will become a regular at the dinner table. It is no exaggeration to say that in many families, from late autumn to the beginning of spring, radishes play an important role on the dining table, and the consumption can even reach 180 kilograms or more.

In the cold winter, radish has become a delicacy on our dining table. Not only does it taste delicious, it is also rich in vitamins and minerals that are great for our health. At the same time, radish also has the medicinal effects of moistening the lungs, relieving coughs, clearing away heat and reducing phlegm, and is deeply loved by people. Now is the season when radishes are in large quantities and very cheap. Many friends often buy radish to take home. Whether it is stewed in soup, stir-fried, or used to make kimchi and pickles, it is a very good choice. However, picking radishes is also a skill. If you choose incorrectly, the radishes you bring home may not taste good at all. Today I will tell you about several types of radishes that are best not recommended to be purchased.

First of all, it is best not to buy radishes with abnormal colors. Normal radishes should be bright red or white. But if you find that some radishes are brown, black, or other strange colors, they are likely to be attacked by bacteria or pests. These radishes may contain harmful substances that may have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, when buying or eating radishes, we should pay special attention to whether the color is normal to ensure the health of ourselves and our families.

Next is the hollow radish. It is best not to buy hollow radish. Hollow radish means that the center part of the radish is hollow, with no flesh and only skin. The reason for this kind of radish may be that the radish lacks water during its growth, or is affected by pests and diseases, or is stored for too long, causing the water in the radish to evaporate and the tissue of the radish to become necrotic. Such radishes are not only nutritious, but may also contain bacteria, which may affect your health if eaten. Usually, just pick up the radish and weigh it with your hands. If it feels very light, it may be hollow. You can also lightly scratch the skin of the radish with your fingernails. If white powder comes out, it means the radish is shriveled and no longer fresh.

There are also cracked radishes, like a torn heart. Its originally closed skin can no longer bear the expansion of the flesh and splits, revealing the secret inside. This is a drastic change in temperature and humidity, causing the internal pressure of the radish to lose balance. The appearance of the radish can no longer maintain its perfection and can only helplessly crack. Buying cracked radishes is undoubtedly an adventure. The gaping wound is like a warning to us. It not only affects the appearance of radish, but also reduces its freshness and nutritional value. More importantly, the gaping wound provides an opportunity for bacteria and mold to invade, increasing the risk after we eat it.

And those sprouting radishes are like time bombs. Under appropriate humidity and temperature, they germinate quickly, however, the radishes at this time may have produced harmful substances. They can make us dizzy, nauseous, and vomit, which are signs of food poisoning. Sprouted radishes may contain higher levels of nitrates, a toxic substance that is more harmful to infants and pregnant women. Therefore, we should stay away from sprouted radishes.

Rotting carrots are like the end of life. They may have abnormal colors on the outside or inside, or may have symptoms such as soft rot or mildew spots, making it easy to spot problems with them at a glance. This is the result of bacterial, fungal infection, or mechanical damage. Such radish not only loses nutrients, but may also produce toxic and harmful substances. For our health, rotten radishes should be discarded decisively.

Finally, there are those misshapen radishes.Their strange appearance may be due to uneven nutrition during growth or a poor growing environment. Although some businesses may promote these radishes in the name of "purely natural", we must know that deformed radishes are difficult to preserve for a long time. When buying or eating, we should pay attention to these details to ensure that we buy fresh radishes and ensure the health of ourselves and our families.
