Discover the World's Ninth Best Food: The Second Healthiest Vegetable

Beet greens have been highlighted as the second healthiest vegetable, scoring 70 out of 100 on a BBC list, due to their high content of calcium, iron, vitamin K, and B vitamins. Despite often being discarded, these greens are nutrient-dense and can be a valuable addition to diets, offering more antioxidants and phytonutrients than the beetroot itself. Experts emphasize the importance of consuming a variety of plant parts to maximize nutritional benefits and reduce food waste.
