July 22 (Monday): Not flashy in color, but... 5 healthy white vegetables!

◽️Garlic=Garlic is well known as a food that helps alleviate acne and prevent colds and flu. This is because the powerful antioxidant properties of garlic strengthen the immune system. Additionally, the sulfur compound allicin, which gives garlic its distinctive spicy taste and smell, helps lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation, aiding in the prevention of heart disease.

◽️Cauliflower=Cauliflower is a vegetable belonging to the cruciferous family, along with broccoli and cabbage, and is rich in sulfur compounds called sulforaphane. This substance, which has strong antioxidant properties, strengthens bone tissue and promotes vascular health.

◽️Onion= Onion skins are rich in a substance called quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. This substance helps alleviate symptoms of arthritis and reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. As the outer skins contain higher levels of quercetin, it is recommended to include the whole skins when making broth and boil them together.

◽️Potatoes=Potatoes contain higher levels of potassium compared to other vegetables or fruits, and are also rich in nutrients such as fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, and iron. Although they have a high carbohydrate content, their calorie content per gram is lower than that of rice, making them a suitable substitute for rice during dieting, and they also provide a high sense of fullness.

◽️Mushrooms= Mushrooms are low in calories and contain little sodium. They also do not contain fat, cholesterol, or gluten, but are rich in nutrients beneficial to health such as selenium, potassium, vitamin B2, niacin, and vitamin D.
