Radish, known as "small ginseng", is an ordinary vegetable that is very popular in north and south all year round. Another feature of radish is its long storage time and good storage. Radish tastes best in late autumn. Full of water, sweet and crisp, not astringent, not bitter, not dry and not residue. Stir-fried dishes are sweet and cold dishes are more refreshing. You can still eat it raw after winter, and it's good to eat it fried. People have long had the definition of "radish can be cooked and supplemented", and there is a saying that radish is very popular with the public on weekdays. It is especially recommended that you eat more radishes during the epidemic.

Because radish has the functions of clearing heat and soothing liver, moistening lung and resolving phlegm, diuresis and detoxification, anti-aging, lowering blood sugar and blood lipid. Have a better performance when entering the dish. Radish can be made into: radish bacon soup, radish ribs soup, radish kelp soup, radish crucian carp soup, radish roasted mutton, radish fried white shrimp, radish fried garlic and so on. These are home-cooked dishes, which are not too boring to eat and easy to cook.

Eating raw radish can clear away fire and detoxify, and it is good to eat a radish when you have a sore. For people with more toxic heat, the old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine prescribed a prescription: radish seed San Qian soup. Take three posts in succession. When children cough, you can use a white radish, and everything is divided into two parts. Cut out a cavity in the middle, fill it with rock sugar, seal it, insert a toothpick to fix it, and steam it for one hour. The effect is remarkable.

I'm not an expert, and I haven't heard of any special function of radish in treating or preventing COVID-19. I just think radish has the advantages I mentioned above. The key is that radish can be preserved for a long time, and buying more at home can reduce the number of trips and reduce the risk of cross-infection.
