Daikon nutrition
Daikon is a very-low-calorie vegetable yet has an impressive nutrient profile.

One 7-inch (18-cm) daikon weighing 12 ounces (338 grams) packs the following nutrients (5Trusted Source):

Calories: 61
Carbs: 14 grams
Protein: 2 grams
Fiber: 5 grams
Vitamin C: 124% of the Daily Value (DV)
Folate (B9): 24% of the DV
Calcium: 9% of the DV
Magnesium: 14% of the DV
Potassium: 22% of the DV
Copper: 19% of the DV
Daikon is an excellent source of various nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and copper. Still, it’s highest in vitamin C and folate.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that’s essential to health and needed for many bodily functions, including immune system function and tissue growth and repair (6Trusted Source).

Plus, it doubles as a powerful antioxidant, protecting your body’s cells from oxidative damage (6Trusted Source).

Daikon is also rich in folate, a B vitamin that’s involved in cellular growth, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis (7Trusted Source).

Foods rich in folate are particularly important during pregnancy, as this nutrient plays an integral role in the growth and development of the baby (8Trusted Source).

SUMMARY
Daikon is low in calories yet high in many nutrients, particularly vitamin C and folate.

According to https://www.eatingwell.com/article/76...

Daikon (sometimes called winter radish) is a root vegetable similar in shape to a large carrot with a flavor that's similar to a mild red radish. It's grown in many Asian countries, and in Japan, it's the most commonly eaten vegetable.
‘Cooking with Daikon
There are many ways to serve white radishes—cooked or raw. Raw daikon works well in salads and slaws, as a side dish for summer picnics or thinly sliced and pickled for sandwiches that need a pick-me-up (a classic Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is typically topped with pickled carrots and daikon, for example). It's also great in stir-fries cooked with meat—cooking radishes yields soft, starchy chunks similar to potatoes. EatingWell has several recipes to try with daikon and if you're feeling adventurous, you can swap out regular radishes for the Japanese root.‘
