Sweet Preserved Radish (Chai Po)

Sweet Preserved Radish (Chai Po) is a Chinese-style preserved radish used as a salty-sweet condiment or stir-fry ingredient, commonly found in southern Chinese and Southeast Asian kitchens. It is valued for its strong umami-sweet flavor and crisp, slightly chewy texture that seasons dishes rather than serving as a main ingredient. Nutritionally, Sweet Preserved Radish (Chai Po) supplies notable amounts of dietary fiber for a preserved vegetable, but it is also very high in sodium at 15g per 100g, so it’s best used in small amounts. The product contains modest protein and negligible fat. Because it’s a preserved, flavor-forward ingredient, it can add a lot of taste with only a small portion; however, due to the high salt content you may prefer lower-sodium or fresh radish alternatives if you’re watching sodium intake. Its fiber makes it more filling than many other condiments, but use sparingly in everyday cooking.Read more
