5 Vegetables You Should Be Eating

5 Vegetables you should be eating

1. Collard greens

Though collards are associated with Southern cooking alongside pork, vegans should be scarfing up collard greens. “Collard greens are a meaningful source of calcium and fiber as well as containing other vitamins and minerals,” says Chef Rabney.

2. Kale

“Kale is also a good source of calcium and fiber. Many people still think of it as a garnish, although with several available varieties it’s starting to gain popularity, especially when made into chips,” explains Chef Rabney, who shares dozens of creative healthy recipes in her new book Delicious for Life: Your Everyday Guide to Making Quick & Healthy Meals.

3. Mustard greens

Mustard greens are another oft overlooked crucifer that has a strong spicy bite. “A small amount of it raw can make a great addition to a salad,” suggests Chef Rabney. If you’re looking for a more subtle flavor, enjoy mustard greens cooked. “As they cook, the spiciness mellows and is especially good when cooked with sautéed onions that are naturally sweet,” the healthy chef adds.

4. Jicama

Jicama, which is not part of the crucifer family, often gets passed by in the produce aisle because of its rather homely appearance. “Jicama is a root vegetable and a great source of fiber. It also provides vitamins and minerals including vitamin C and potassium,” Chef Rabney says. To eat jicama, remove the peel and bite into the white slightly sweet and crunchy flesh. “It’s very popular in Mexico and it is definitely enhanced by a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a pinch of sea salt and even a dash of chili powder,” she adds. Slice jicama and eat it as a low-carb, low-calorie alternative to chips.

5. Sea vegetables

Have you had your fill of seaweed lately? According to Chef Rabney, sea vegetables are loaded with nutrients, including iron, calcium, iodine, zinc, many vitamins, and fiber. “When we think about vegetables, we typically picture a garden but there is a whole other world of vegetables that provide great nutrition, texture and taste,” she explains. “Wakami and nori are probably the most familiar in America as some people eat nori with their sushi and wakami in miso soup in restaurants. Arame seaweed can easily be tossed into a stir fry or pot of grains, kombu can be used when cooking soups and beans and miso soup can be easily made at home using wakame and kombu. Buy a pre-made gamasio which is a blend of seaweed, sesame seeds and sea salt that can be sprinkled on rice or just about anything.”

What Is A Super Food?
From Wiki
Superfood is a term sometimes used to describe food with high phytonutrient content that may confer health benefits as a result. For example, blueberries are often considered a superfood (or superfruit) because they contain significant amounts of antioxidants, anthocyanins, vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber.
The term is not in common currency amongst dieticians and nutritional scientists, many of whom dispute the claims made that consuming particular foodstuffs can have a health benefit.There is no legal definition of the term and it has been alleged that this has led to it being over-used as a marketing tool.

I'm a huge fan of this. It's a great source of omegas 3 ,B12 Zink and Iron.... just Amazing! I can't wait to try them all.
