What to know about radish greens
Radish greens are the leafy tops that come attached to the bunch and go straight in the bin in most kitchens. They are perfectly edible, they taste like a softer version of the root, and they are the traditional base for Italian and Indian greens soups and for a cheap peppery pesto. On the trigger side they behave differently from the radish itself: the root is graded high for salicylates, while the tops come out only borderline. What the leaves do carry is a moderate FODMAP load and a moderate fermentability score, so a big raw handful can bloat a sensitive gut where a cooked portion will not.
Watch for
- Borderline FODMAP by volume, and they land in the medium band overall, so the amount matters more than whether you eat them at all
- Borderline on low-fermentation scoring, which makes a raw pesto or a raw salad handful harder work than the same greens wilted into soup
- Borderline salicylate, and lower than the radish root, so tolerating the tops tells you nothing about whether you will tolerate the radishes they came with
- Borderline oxalate, in the same range as most soft cooking greens rather than the spinach and chard end of the scale
- Radish tops wilt within a day or two of the bunch being picked, so buy them attached and use them fast rather than reviving limp leaves
