3. Broccoli
Broccoli has numerous health benefits, and in addition, is high in fiber. One serving of broccoli can provide 10% of the fiber needed every day. It also provides vitamins and minerals, with over 100% of the daily requirement for Vitamin C. You can also receive significant amounts of folate, potassium, and iron. Although many green vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and other nutritional properties, broccoli, in particular, the stalks, also contribute fiber to its other nutritional benefits.
If you eat broccoli raw in salads or as an appetizer with dips, you can enjoy an intense dosage of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Cooking tends to cause these nutrients to deteriorate, so consider eating cooked broccoli steamed or sauteed rather than boiled. Fresh broccoli has more health benefits than frozen broccoli, so try eating broccoli that is fresh. Use the fiber-rich stalks in soups and stews.
