Is it better to eat radishes raw or cooked?

Three Fresh Radish Rolls

Winter is a great season for eating radishes. Do you know what the therapeutic effects of radishes are? Is it better to eat them raw or cooked?

Radishes are slightly warm in nature and enter the lung and stomach meridians. They have functions such as clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting urination to drain dampness, dispelling stasis, strengthening the stomach to aid digestion, transforming phlegm to stop coughing, regulating qi, promoting bowel movements, promoting fluid production to quench thirst, tonifying the middle jiao, and calming the five organs. Radishes are very effective for aiding digestion and also have a qi-regulating effect.

Radishes contain enzymes. If you want to ingest these enzymes, you need to eat them raw. Eating raw radishes is also effective for sore throats and coughs. If you want to cook radishes, you can stew them with meat for a nutritious meal.
