Density 95 · +2 vs Vegetables median

Radishes, raw score 95 of 100 and rank 25 of 60 in the vegetables category, an Elite result achieved at a mere 16 calories per 100 grams. Their standout nutrient is vitamin C at 16% of the Daily Value, a good rather than excellent showing that still adds up given how few calories the food carries.

Sliced thin, radishes bring a peppery crunch to salads, tacos, and butter-and-radish toast, and a cup of slices, about 116 grams, is a common serving size. No limits are flagged for this food, though its vitamin C contribution is more modest than crucifers like cabbage or cauliflower in the same category.
