What changes the calories
- Cooking daikon in oil, such as stir-frying or pan-searing, adds the calories of the fat it absorbs.
- Simmering daikon in broth or sauces can add calories from the cooking liquid, especially sweet or oily ones like those used in braises.
- Pickled daikon often contains added sugar from the brine, so it can be higher in calories than fresh daikon.
- Daikon radishes vary a lot in size, so a whole radish can be much larger or smaller than the 338 g example.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh daikon on a kitchen scale after peeling and trimming, since whole radishes differ widely in size.
- Log raw daikon when you eat it fresh in salads or as a garnish, and add any dressing, oil or pickling brine as separate entries.
- Snap a photo of your meal in BerryFit to log daikon dishes quickly, then adjust the portion and any added sauces.
