Radish microgreens provide 391 International Units (IU) or an estimated 8% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin A in the diet.

Vitamin A is a group of fat-soluble retinoids, including retinol, retinal, and retinyl esters.

It is crucial in multiple bodily 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, 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.

Vitamin B complex:

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) of 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).

B vitamins also help to prevent infections and play a vital role in cellular health, energy levels, healthy brain and nerve function, cardiovascular health, red blood cell growth, and more.
