Did you know? Peppers are actually considered fruits because their seeds are on the inside. If you get really technical, many vegetables are actually fruits, according to the strictest definition of the word.

Broccoli and Cauliflower

By the time you finish reading this, you’re going to understand why your mother always told you to eat your broccoli! It’s a superveggie if ever there was one, and cauliflower is right there with it. In addition to just about every major vitamin and mineral, they also have protein. Use these crunchy cruciferous veggies as much as possible! A few reasons why you should:

Cancer prevention — The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties of broccoli and cauliflower help prevent many different types of cancer, including breast, prostate, colon, bladder, and ovarian. It also acts to protect your DNA.

Detoxification — Broccoli and cauliflower have three special phytonutrients that create a unique combination. This pairing supports detox at every step of the process, which makes them perfect for a cleanse. They even help control the detox process at the genetic level! Though cauliflower only has about half the amount of phytonutrients that broccoli does, it is still a significant source.

Eye health — The antioxidants, particularly lutein and beta-carotene, found in broccoli help protect your eyes from such diseases as age-related macular degeneration.

Vitamin D support — The unusually strong combination of vitamin A and vitamin K (the pairing needed for vitamin D absorption) in broccoli makes it the ideal vegetable for people who suffer from a vitamin D deficiency.
