3.  Radishes have high potassium content, which can help maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
4.  They contain minerals that promote good health, including folate, Vitamin K, manganese, iron and calcium.
5.  Radishes are a natural diuretic - helpful in the treatment of urinary and kidney infections.
