Broccoli
Full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, folate, and phytonutrients, broccoli is a super hero vegetable. If you enjoy the taste of broccoli in its natural state, you can snack on it raw, or you can bake it in the oven until it gets crispy and flavorful, and top it with cheese, seasonings, and spices. If you are looking for broccoli with the highest amount of carotenoids, look for deeper and richer colors when inspecting the florets.
