About half the carbohydrate in parsnips are sugar and the rest is starch. Carbohydrates are the only fuel source for many vital organs, including the brain, central nervous system and kidneys. Parsnips are a good source of vitamin C (immune booster, potent antioxidant) and niacin (vitamin B3 which assists in the functioning of the digestive system, skin, and nerves. It is also important for the conversion of food to energy). and also provide some vitamin E (antioxidant), potassium and dietary fibre.

Aside from adding texture and color, green bell peppers are incredibly nutritious. They contain twice the amount of vitamin C as an orange, offering a significant amount of this free-radical fighter. Vitamin A in the form of carotenoids is also present in green bell peppers, although not in the same levels as vitamin C. Vitamin A also works as a potent antioxidant, and is linked to strong vision and lung health. Green bell peppers are also good sources of vitamin B6, which assists in a number of bodily functions, from metabolism, to immune and nervous system health. It is also a vital nutrient, along with folic acid (also found in green bell peppers) in regulating homocysteine levels in the body. To add to the nutritional value of green bell peppers, one cup of this raw vegetable supplies seven percent of the daily requirement of fiber, which assists in cleansing the body of toxins, as well as a respectable amount of manganese, potassium, thiamine, vitamin E, tryptophan, and copper.

Colored bell peppers offer the same nutritional value as green bell peppers and then some. They are not only incredible sources of vitamin C, but of vitamin A. The carotenoid content of red bell peppers is many times more than that of green bell peppers, with more than one hundred percent of the daily requirement for vitamin A.

Rutabagas are very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. They're also a good source of Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and an excellent source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Potassium and Manganese.
Rutabaga Tips & Trivia
The rutabaga resulted from a chance hybridization, centuries ago, between cabbage and turnips. The plant is considered by botanists to be in the cabbage family.
The name comes from the Swedes and the most common synonym is Swede or Swede turnips.

The potato contains vitamins and minerals, as well as an assortment of phytochemicals, such as carotenoids and ployphenols. A medium-size 150 g (5.3 oz) potato with the skin provides 27 mg of vitamin C (45% of the Daily Value (DV)), 620 mg of potassium (18% of DV), 0.2 mg vitamin B6 (10% of DV) and trace amounts of thiamin, riboflayvin, folate, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. The fiber content of a potato with skin (2 g) is equivalent to that of many whole grain breads, pastas, and cereals.
In terms of nutrition, the potato is best known for its carbohydrate content (approximately 26 grams in a medium potato). The predominant form of this carbohydrate is starch. A small but significant portion of this starch is resistant to digestion by enzymes in the stomach and small intestine, and so reaches the large intestine essentially intact. This resistant starch is considered to have similar physiological effects and health benefits as fiber: It provides bulk, offers protection against colon cancer, improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, lowers plasma cholesterol and tridlyceride concentrations, increases satiety, and possibly even reduces fat storage.The nutrients of the potato seem to be fairly evenly distributed between the flesh and the skin.

Spinach is the store house of many phyto-nutrients that have health promotional and disease prevention properties.
Very low in calories and fats (100 g of raw leaves provide just 23 cal). It contains good amount of soluble dietary fiber; no wonder greeny spinach is one of the vegetable source recommended in cholesterol controlling and weight reduction programs.
Fresh 100 g of spinach contains about 25% of daily intake of iron; one of the richest among green leafy vegetables. Iron is an important trace element required by the body for red blood cell production and as a co-factor for oxidation-reduction enzymes cytochrome-oxidases during the cellular metabolism.
Fresh leaves are rich source of several vital anti-oxidants like vitamin A and flavonoid poly phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, zea-xanthin and beta-carotene. These compounds help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in aging and various disease processes.
zea-xanthin, an important dietary carotenoid selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea in the eyes where it is thought to provide antioxidant and protective light-filtering functions; thus helps protect from "age related macular disease" (ARMD) in the elderly.
Vitamin A is also required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin and is essential for vision. Consumption of natural vegetables and fruits rich in flavonoids helps body protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.
100 g of Spinach provides 402% of daily vitamin-K requirements. Vitamin K plays vital role in strengthening bone mass by promoting osteotrophic (bone building) activity in the bone. It also has established role in patients with Alzheimer's disease by limiting neuronal damage in the brain.
This greeny leafy vegetable also contain good amounts of many B-complex vitamins like vitamin- B6 (pyridoxine), thiamin (vitamin B-1), folates and niacin and vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which helps body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen free radicals. Folates help prevent neural tube defects in the offsprings.
The leaves also contain good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, magnesium. copper and zinc. Potassium in an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Manganese and copper are used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells. Zinc is a co-factor in many enzymes that regulate growth and development, sperm generation, digestion and nucleic acid synthesis.
It is also rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.
