- Mooli (Radish) contains cancer-protective properties and it is also used as a medicinal food for liver disorders. It contains a variety of sulfur-based chemicals that increases the flow of bile, which helps in maintaining a healthy gallbladder and liver, and improves
digestion. It is also a big source of vitamin C and calcium. Green leaves contain more vitamin C than roots.
