Arugula

Arugula is an excellent source of folate and vitamin C as well as a good source of calcium. Although arugula is typically mildly flavored, larger leaf varieties can have a more peppery, almost hot taste than the smaller, softer leaf variety.

Tomatoes

While tomatoes are technically a fruit, I don’t eat them sweet the way I eat fruit so I’m putting them along with the veggies on the list. Lycopene from tomatoes helps protect against colorectal, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic cancers.
