Would you know what the most nutritious vegetables in your refrigerator were? Could you label them from most nutritious to least? You may think you know but according to this survey by howtocook.recipes most Americans get it wrong when choosing which vegetables they believe to be the healthiest.
The chart lays out in detail the healthiest vegetables determined by a nutrient density score. Collard greens score the highest out of the 75 vegetables listed with a score of 20.039 followed by asparagus with a nutrient density score of 19.478. Scrolling to the bottom of the chart, coming in last with the lowest score of 11.533 is cucumber pickles. Yams, wax gourds, navy beans and sweet potatoes also score low on the chart but wax gourds do score the highest fiber content. To be fair, any of these vegetables are a good healthy choice but if you are looking to eat more fiber, cut out sugars or increase vitamins then taking this chart into consideration is a good idea.
