Lets face it. Knowing which vegetables contain which vitamins is a Herculean task. The yuckiest of vegetables always contain the most essential vitamins. I literally broke my head on this till I took a subject in college on nutrition which helped me gain a further insight to all this. So how do we know what vitamins we need? Why we need them and what do we need to gulp in to get them? Read on !
