'Healthiest vegetables' might seem redundant and a bit of a minefield when you're considering how to eat more veg. But according to the experts, there are certain vegetables which are better for us than others, due to their nutrient content.
'What one vegetable is low in, another maybe a good source of, and this is why variety is so important,' says Sarah Jones, nutritionist for Discover Great Veg. 'The natural compounds (phytochemicals) that give vegetables their colour are beneficial to our health as they act as antioxidants and can protect from harmful disease. This is why we are encouraged to ‘eat a rainbow’.'
