Let's start with kiwis which contain antioxidants that may be helpful in maintaining eye health and are also full of vitamins C and E. Do you usually peel your kiwi before eating? Me, too! But the skin of the kiwi is completely edible, it turns out, and actually holds much of the fruit's fiber and vitamin C. Kiwis are great for snacking or tossing into a blender and adding to a smoothie.
Sesame seeds are a rich source of iron and according to recent studies helped lower LDL cholesterol levels by almost 10 percent for those who ate a few spoonfuls of the seeds each day. While eating them by the spoonful doesn't seem appetizing, try sprinkle some toasted seeds over oatmeal or steamed vegetables. Or use tahini, a sesame seed butter, to make some hummus.
Beets abound with nutrients that may help the sharpen the mind. They also make nitric acid that helps increase the blood flow in the body. The antioxidants in beets are absorbed by the body best when the vegetable is eaten raw; use some freshly grated beets to top off your next salad, adding nutrition, taste, and beautiful color!
