Vegetables are crucial for overall health. The majority of your vitamins and minerals come from these wonderful foods and should be a staple with nearly every meal. Some of the healthiest vegetables are the cruciferous veggies including kale, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower; green leafy veggies including arugula, mustard, and chard; allium veggies which include onion, garlic, scallions, and leeks; avocados; mushrooms; and the “rainbow” of vegetables including beets, sweet potatoes, summer squash, zucchini, blue potatoes, and eggplant to name a few.
