Meet the Veggies

These totally tubular veggies know how to turnip the beet when it counts. Packed with fiber and good carbohydrates, you can’t go wrong rooting for them.

Why go green? Lettuce explain. These leafy contenders consistently top the vitamin and antioxidant leaderboard, making them the MVPs of the produce aisle.

Bean there, done that? Not if you cheer on Team Legume. Full of fiber and protein, these beans, peas and pods are hard to stop when they get on a roll.

While they aren’t vegetables in the traditional sense, these wild cards bring enough flavorful play and nutritional power to put their opponents on upset watch.
