Brussels sprouts: often underrated but nutritionally mighty, are packed with health benefits. These mini-cabbages are a rich source of vitamins C and K, essential for immune function and bone health, respectively. Their high fiber content supports digestion and may aid in weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness. Brussels sprouts also contain antioxidants, including kaempferol, which may help reduce inflammation and combat oxidative stress in the body. Additionally, they provide small amounts of protein, contributing to overall nutrient intake.

Green Grapes: These juicy gems are a good source of antioxidants, particularly resveratrol, which has been linked to heart health benefits. Grapes also provide a decent amount of vitamin C and potassium.

Pepitas (Pumpkin Seeds): These crunchy seeds are a good source of magnesium, zinc, and iron. They also contain healthy fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain and heart health.

Raisins: Raisins are a good source of fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes gut health. They also contain antioxidants and minerals like potassium and iron.
