- It plays a crucial role in multiple body functions, including developing and maintaining healthy bones and teeth, soft tissues, skin, and mucous membranes.
- It is also vital in cellular communication, immune function, vision, and reproduction.
- Retinol converts to retinoic acid, which serves as a hormone-like growth factor for epithelial cells that line the body’s surfaces, including blood vessels and skin.
- Retinol also produces pigmentation in the eyes’ retinas.
- Radish microgreens are a rich source of B vitamins, a serving includes:
- 0.1 milligrams (mg) of vitamin B1 (thiamine) or 8% RDA,
- 0.1 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) or 8% RDA,
- 2.9 mg of vitamin B3 (niacin) or 18% RDA,
- 0.7 mg of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) or 14% RDA,
- 0.3 mg of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), equalling 14% RDA, and
- 96 micrograms (mcg) vitamin B9 of folate (24% RDA).
- Sufficient folate levels are especially important for pregnant women – because folate helps prevent severe congenital disabilities of the fetus’s developing brain and spine (known as neural tube defects).
- Radish microgreens are loaded with vitamin C, containing 37.8 mg, meaning a whopping 42% of the RDA.It plays a pivotal role in collagen development, maintenance and strength of bones, cartilage, and teeth; immune functioning; iron absorption; and other bodily functions.

- Vitamin E may relieve inflammatory diseases and conditions, including arthritis. In its role as an antioxidant, vitamin E helps to prevent free radicals from oxygenating cholesterol.
- Since cholesterol only adheres to blood vessels when oxidized, eating microgreens high in vitamin E such as radish microgreens can lower the risk of developing blocked arteries, reducing the risk of having a stroke or heart attack.
- Selenium is an essential nutrient necessary for multiple body processes, including gene expression, protein synthesis, enzymatic processes, immune functioning, and wound healing. It also promotes DNA repair in damaged cells, decreases or prevents cancer cell proliferation, and increases apoptosis. Apoptosis is the process whereby the body removes abnormal cells.Radish microgreens provide 6-mcg or 1% of the RDA.

Radish microgreens also provide 5% of the RDA for iron or 0.9 mg.
- This mineral plays a vital role in several body functions, including cell division, bone development, immune cell function, signaling, digestion, metabolism, and wound repair. Radish microgreens provide 0.6 mg or 5% of the RDA.
- One of the body’s most essential minerals, potassium is considered an electrolyte since when dissolved in water, it produces positively charged ions.Potassium regulates nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and fluid balance and may lower blood pressure, reduce water retention, and help prevent strokes.Radish microgreens contain 86 mg or 2% of the RDA.
