A Vegetable Spiral Slicer Makes Eating Veggies More Fun!

Slicing and Shredding Vegetables Makes Them More Appealing to Kids and Adults

Radishes ready to be sliced in the spiral vegetable slicerEveryone knows that vegetables are good for you but it can be hard to find ways to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, especially if you live with children or picky eaters. A spiral vegetable slicer can make that task a little easier and possibly more fun. For example, my 11 year old son doesn't like cooked carrots at all, but he will happily eat a mound of spiralized raw carrots drizzled with a little ranch dressing. You can also use this easy to use slicer to make professional-looking garnishes for elegant salads. I love thinly sliced onion and radish on my salads, but just can't slice either of them that well at home with a knife and I end up with slices that start out wafer thin at the top and end up in a big wedge at the bottom. Now, I can process onions and radishes easily and quickly with the spiral vegetable slicer.

A Vegetable Spiral Slicer Can Help You Achieve Professional Looking Results

Sliced daikon radish in saladAll sorts of vegetables can be spiralized, including carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, and beets among others. One of my favorite salads when I go out for sushi is the shredded daikon radish salad seasoned with a splash of vinegar and now I can easily make it at home with the World Cuisine Spiral Vegetable Slicer. All you have to do is peel a daikon radish and insert it in the spiral slicer and whirl away. You will end up with a lovely pile of shredded daikon ready to be seasoned and eaten.

Daikon radishes are a great addition to your diet because they are thought to have cancer-fighting properties and are full of anti-oxidants and if you eat daikon radish at the same time that you eat sweet potatoes, carrots, or dark leafy greens, it will boost absorption of beta-carotene from those vegetables. Even if they weren't so nutritious, I would eat them because they are so tasty and have a great crunch factor!
