Yeah, that claim is pretty dubious.
If it has almost no calories, then it has almost no mass.
To get the approximate amount of calories in a piece, just measure its weight to get the mass (M in kg) and use the formula M * c * c * 0.2390057, where c is the speed of light in m/s.

I mean they're cool, but they're not that cool.
They're only rad-ish.
How dare you…take my dam upvote

Don't suppose you're actually a beaver?
I was using swipe typing and knew it was wrong when reading it. Then I was like fuck it and hit post anyway like a fucking madman. Felt good.
That was way more clever than it had any right to be... Get out!

The leaves are edible too,I use them in various recipes
The leaves are edible too,
I actually didn't know that
And they're delicious.
Put a lil salt on em and its a genuinely great snack.
Well, until you get that one that's randomly hotter than the sun and turns your eyes and nose into gushing torrents, while you try not to cough it out in front of everyone else.
Always when you least expect it
The gamblers choice. I like it.
Edit: same as that mystery chunk of ginger/cloves/etc.
You know, I love radishes in salad or stir fry or whatever, and I just never thought of them as a standalone snack....
And thats on me. I'm gonna get some radishes today while I'm briefly out in the arctic temperatures.

And they're by far the easiest vegetable to grow yourself, so much so that being called a 'radish farmer' is an insult.
They’re easier than zucchini? Does that make keeping radishes from taking over their entire plots actually kind of difficult or do they just grow perfectly only where you plant them?

If anyone here dislikes the peppery taste of raw radishes, I recommend cutting them into chunks, tossing with some olive oil, salt, and other seasoning and roast them until they are tender. This gets rid of the peppery taste and makes them taste more like potatoes or turnips.
The peppery taste is what I like most about radishes.

Also one of the few foods that give me inexplicable instant acid foaming back up from my stomach. I'll eat habaneros for giggles, no problem, but a single one of those little round red monsters in a salad and I'm out.

Thanks for reminding me to buy radish seeds. Radishes grow pretty quickly and yes, you can roast them and they are delish-- after roasting are less peppery but still good. I want to know if Daikon radishes also have these same properties.
Daikon do! Some varieties of radish go from seed to "ready to harvest" in as little as 3 weeks. They're also great for nutrient cycling and breaking up dense soils in preparation for other plantings, Daikon does a particularly good job as they grow deeper than many varieties. Even when planted around other things they grow low to the ground so they rarely directly compete for light.
I normally plant at least 2 waves of radishes in my garden to start and end the season.

contain vitamin C
Basically all plants do. Do radishes contain unusually much of it?
improve blood pressure
Higher or lower?

They also make your farts smell like rotten eggs if you eat too many of them.

Radish, horseradish, garlic and onions are probably my favourite veggies for sandwiches
If you've never tried this with a sandwich, give it a shot. Toast the bread well, then take a peeled clove of garlic and rub it on the inside facing side of each slice. Basically, you're using the rough surface of the bread to grate the garlic down to nothing until the clove is gone and transferred to the surface if the bread. Then add a light bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. This works especially well with with salami or prosciutto and basil sandwich.
If you like garlic, it imparts a powerful flavor, even moreso than chopped. It's basically like micro planed, but quicker

You say they have no calories like that should make me more inclined to want to eat them. We are not all fat you know.
I do like radishes though.

Radishes contain almost no calories
Not very amazing then, given that I need those to survive.
also it's not like other vegetables have the energy density of plutonium, aside from the starchy stuff most vegetables have precisely the amount of calories that's good for you.

Try telling that to my dog, she hates them.
Ok, put your dog on.
Is she on now?
First off, I must start off my argument with a question. "Who's a good girl?" Now, that we've established that, I need you to listen. Sit. Good girl. Stay. Now... RADISH GOOD. GOOD RADISH.
Let me know if she likes them now.
It worked, amazing Jesus H. Christ, hot damn.
I have a way with these things.
