HEALTH & BENEFITS
Tomatoes are high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. Cucumbers are rich in hydration and vitamin K, which is important for bone health. Green peppers (or wax peppers) are a good source of vitamin C, while radishes are high in vitamin C and fiber. Onions contain sulfur compounds which promote healthy liver function and have anti-inflammatory properties. Parsley is a great source of vitamin K and can help reduce inflammation in the body.
