Common Vegetables
Almost all past civilizations cultivated vegetables and every single one considered them nutritionally important. Vegetables have lots of minerals like calcium, iron and magnesium, and vitamins like Vitamin C and A.
Fresh vegetables are very low in calories and contain more than 70% water, meaning they can be eaten in large quantities with almost no downside to doing so.
Pretty much all vegetables are high in fibre, antioxidants and phytonutrients.
