Most valueble VEGGIE.

In the biggest (er, only) tournament of its
kind in the history of tubers,
leafy greens, and crucifers, we pit veggie
against veggie in a scintillating smackdown
to decide once and for all the MVP of the produce aisle..

WINNER! Brussels Sprouts

Folate
Brussels Sprouts vs. Green Bell Pepper - 54 mcg vs. 16 mcg
Magnesium
Brussels Sprouts vs. Broccoli - 20 mg vs. 18 mg
Iron
Tomato vs. Brussels Sprouts - 0.49 mg vs. 1.23 mg
Selenium
Brussels Sprouts vs. Butternut Squash - 1.4 mcg vs. 0.7 mcg

( competitor were taken from the highest amount of that nutrition content)


ps:therefore add a brussels sprout or two to your daily diet.
