Oshinko, which typically refers to pickled daikon radish, is generally considered gluten-free in its basic form. However, it’s important to check the ingredients list or with the manufacturer for any specific brand or preparation of oshinko, as some pickling solutions or added flavorings could potentially contain gluten-containing ingredients.

Low in calories: Oshinko is a low-calorie food, making it a good option for those watching their weight.
High in fiber: The radish used to make oshinko is rich in dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health.
Good source of vitamins: Oshinko contains vitamin C, which supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant.
Provides minerals: It contains small amounts of minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron.
Probiotic properties: As a fermented food, oshinko may contain beneficial probiotics that support digestive health.
Hydration: Radishes have high water content, contributing to hydration.
Antioxidants: Radishes contain various antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Low in fat: Oshinko is virtually fat-free, making it a healthy snack option.
May aid digestion: The fiber and probiotic content can help promote healthy digestion.
Potential cancer-fighting properties: Some studies suggest that compounds in radishes may have anti-cancer effects, though more research is needed.Remember that while oshinko has these potential benefits, it’s also high in sodium due to the pickling process, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
People with high blood pressure: Oshinko is high in sodium, which can exacerbate hypertension.
Individuals on a low-sodium diet: Due to its high salt content, oshinko may not be suitable for those restricting sodium intake.
People with sensitive digestive systems: The fermentation process and high fiber content might cause discomfort for some individuals.
Those with a radish allergy: Although rare, some people may be allergic to radishes and should avoid oshinko.
Pregnant women: While not strictly prohibited, pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider about consuming fermented foods.
People taking certain medications: The high vitamin K content in radishes might interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin.
Individuals with thyroid issues: Radishes contain goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function if consumed in large amounts.
Those with a history of kidney stones: The oxalate content in radishes might be a concern for people prone to kidney stones.
People with GERD or acid reflux: The acidity of pickled foods might exacerbate these conditions in some individuals.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific health concerns or conditions before making significant changes to your diet.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
