THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 5.7 g of fibre per 100 g, which supports normal digestion and helps meals feel filling.
  • Contains 40.0 mg vitamin C per 100 g, supporting collagen formation and normal immune function.
  • Contributes folate (65 µg per 100 g), needed for normal cell division and blood formation.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • It is starchier than most vegetables, so large portions contribute more carbohydrate and energy.
  • Raw portions may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive people; cooking often improves tolerance.
  • Nutrient values vary by variety, freshness and cooking method.
