This dish is easy to make and contains many ingredients which promote good detoxification. Radishes are a natural cleansing vegetable. They contain compounds that aid digestion by breaking down and eliminating stagnant food and harmful toxins in the body. Radishes are also rich in the antioxidants, vitamin C and fibre, which protects our bodies from free radical damage, helps to reduce stress and promotes regular bowel movements.

Beetroot is also beneficial in a detox. Beetroot is a unique source of betaine, a compound that is anti-inflammatory and one that protects our cells, proteins and enzymes from environmental stress. Aside from betalin pigments giving beetroot it’s lovely rich colour, betalin supports your body’s detoxification process by binding toxins to molecules for excretion.
