Radishes have around twice the vitamin C of carrots. As a source of vitamins and minerals that will store through the winter radish is a winner. In Russia, when someone has a persistent cough that won't clear they prepare a Black Radish Syrup by peeling the root, then slicing it and making layers of root with either sugar or honey. The mix is left in a bowl at room temp until a liquid appears that is taken as 1 tsp 3 times per day. The mix will continue to produce the syrup for several days kept at room temperature away from the sun. The syrup is delicious.
