The daikon is a long white turnip. This vegetable is harvested between winter and spring, cut into strips and then left to dry in the sun for three days. When dried in the mild, cold winds of spring, its sweet, mild aroma and flavor is preserved. It is an excellent source of energy and fiber, due to its content of glucose, fructose, cellulose and starch, as well as providing high amounts of vitamins and minerals. Consuming daikon is a good way to cleanse the body. Inadequate eating habits (excess sugars, fats, meats, refined flours and low-quality oils) cause fat to accumulate in the fundamental organs and in the channels of the energy meridians, a fact that can hinder or even prevent its circulation . A healthy diet in which daikon is common can help prevent it and ensure that all organs function in balance. With invigorating, diuretic and alkalizing properties, daikon has enzymes that promote digestion. In addition, its daily consumption favors the elimination of mucus, kidney stones and animal waste from the body. A small amount is enough at each meal to see the benefits. It is recommended to add raw to salads, after soaking for 5 minutes in water. It can also be boiled with cereals and vegetables. Store in a cool, dry place.
