Antioxidant Rich Vegetables
Veggies are a great source of antioxidants, because almost all contain one or more of the following: vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and beta carotene, all hailed for having high antioxidant properties.
Dark green vegetables (such as spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, watercress, asparagus, green peppers), red peppers, yellow peppers and tomatoes are all excellent sources of vitamin C.
Vegetable oils (from olive, soybean, corn, cottonseed and safflower), legumes (such as beans, lentils and split peas), as well as dark leafy green vegetables, are all excellent sources of vitamin E.
Dark orange, red, yellow and green vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, red peppers and yellow peppers, are all excellent sources of beta carotene.
Most vegetables contain selenium.
