14 Vitamin-Packed Foods to Fit Into Your Diet


  • Did you know? A kiwi has lots of fiber and potassium, twice the vitamin C of an orange and only 46 calories!
  • Beans are the best! High in fiber, protein and vitamins, they can help lower cholesterol and protect against some cancers. Try them in soups, salads or with rice.
  • Honey, rich in B2, iron and potassium, was used as currency by the Romans. Egyptian royalty had large jars of honey placed in their tombs for the afterlife.
  • Beets (rich in potassium and vitamins A and C) are deliciously sweet when roasted in the oven.
  • 1/2 cup of beets has 29 calories, 2 grams of fiber, no fat, 74 mcg folic acid, and as much potassium as one banana!
  • The top ten nutritional all-stars are: broccoli, kale, cantaloupe, carrots, mangoes, pumpkin, red peppers, spinach, strawberries & sweet potatoes.
