If you want to know whether radish leaves are edible, the answer is yes. However, the leaves have a slightly bitter taste and may not suit every person's palate. So you might not want to add too much of them in your soup. You can cook them as you would cook spinach, though you cannot have huge quantities of them.
Cut off the thick stem from the leaves and use just the leaves. Wash off every ounce of dirt from the leaves. This will take some time though. You can then either chop them up and boil and mash them or add a bit of seasoning and stir fry them. They can also be eaten raw as the Indians do. Just add some to your green salad and then add either vinegar or lemon juice to give it a bit of taste. In fact, you can use any salad dressing.
Radish leaves are full of nutrients and fiber and will help cleanse the blood. They have detoxifying properties as well. In some forms of traditional medicine, radish leaves are prescribed as a cure for lethargy. So if you want to move with a bit more zest in your life, add radish greens to your menu!
