There are so many healthy and delicious veggies out there, and yet somehow most adults struggle to eat enough veggies on a daily basis. Check out these three unusual vegetables that you’re probably not eating, but you definitely should because they’re very nutritious.
Kohlrabi
You’ve probably seen this odd-shaped veggie at the farmers market but you didn’t really know what it was. Kohlrabi is a cruciferous vegetable and it’s related to veggies like broccoli or cauliflower. It’s pretty versatile and you can add it to soups, roast it in the oven, or enjoy it raw. Kohlrabi is tasty but most importantly very healthy because it’s packed with potassium, fiber, and vitamin C.
Romanesco
This is probably one of the coolest-looking veggies, even though it’s not very popular. Romanesco is pretty similar to cauliflower and broccoli and is a great source of fiber, protein, and vitamins.
Jicama
This root vegetable looks similar to potato and it’s actually often referred to as Mexican potato. Jicama is, however, a bit more juicer and has a lightly sweet flavor. This interesting veggie has powerful health benefits because it’s high in antioxidants and is a great source of vitamin C and fiber.
