Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that is abundant in fiber and B vitamins by nature. It contains antioxidants and phytonutrients that can help prevent cancer. It also includes fiber, which aids in weight reduction and digestion, choline, which is necessary for learning and memory, and a variety of other critical nutrients.

Red cabbage
Anthocyanins, which are responsible for the red-orange to blue-violet hues observed in many fruits and vegetables, are present in red cabbage. A higher consumption of anthocyanins and other phytochemicals has been related to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease in population-based studies.
Pear
Pears are a high-fiber, vitamin-rich fruit that also contains helpful plant components. These nutrients are considered to help with inflammation, gut and heart health, illness prevention, and even weight loss.
Dry beans
Beans are an excellent source of fiber. This is significant since most people do not consume the required 25 to 38 grams per day. Fiber aids in digestion and appears to protect against heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and digestive disorders.
Grapes
Grapes are high in potassium, a mineral that aids in fluid equilibrium in the body. Potassium can help decrease your blood pressure and risk of heart disease and stroke. Because most people don't receive enough of this vitamin, eating grapes can help.
Eggplant
Eggplants are high in antioxidants and fiber. A serving of eggplant has at least 5% of a person's daily fiber, copper, manganese, B-6, and thiamine requirements. Other vitamins and minerals are also present. Furthermore, eggplants contain phenolic chemicals that function as antioxidants.
