I know many people out there struggle on a day to day basis to get some vegetables in their diet. Now, don’t get me wrong, I myself hate vegetables, and casually/willingly manage to leave it out of my diet, but it is an important factor and it should be touched up upon.  So, What vegetables should i be eating? I have put together 5 great vegetables that can be combined with any dish. whether it be a sweet dish or savoury, it will blend in with anything you want!

1. Rhubarb

These almost look like celery sticks, except they have a tint of green and some reddish areas on them.  These things are high in fiber and calcium.

2. Leeks

These almost look like green onions. They are in fact from the same family as those. Its close with shallots, garlic and so forth, however this has a slightly milder taste. It is also very good for fiber and it is a great source of antioxidants.

3.  Eggplant or Baby Eggplant

I think it's safe to say that we all know what and where we can buy our eggplants from. any local grocery shop should carry these bad boys . Eggplants are usually good for having a healthy weight as well as making your nails, skin and hair healthier. to top if off, they are also very low in carbs.

4. Beets

I personally cannot stand beets. I do not like the smell or taste of them, but if and when I have it laying around in my house I do tend to use it. They are a good form of antioxidants, they can also be used as an anti-inflammatory and it can be used to detox your body. I know of some restaurants that actually use the bright color of this vegetable as food coloring.

5. Rutabaga

I call this the confused vegetable, because it simply is. It’s a mix up of a cabbage and a turnip. It helps boost your immune system while providing great vitamin c as well as helps promote a healthy digestive system.
