Looking to get your Vitamin C in without eating fruit – chop up 1 cup of broccoli. You’ll have your entire daily intake of Vitamin C. Broccoli also boasts high amounts of Vitamin A, fiber and contains a flavinoid called kaempferol. Kaempferol has anti-inflammatory properties, and has been shown to be a preventative in adult diabetes.
