Soya Beans - These are super little gems and are often found in the frozen vegetable section of a super market, but more likely in an Asian supper market ( that is where I get mine) They are in pods, you just pop them out. They are just over $4 for 450 gr.
Nutrition - High in omega 3, 6 and protein. Also have vitamin A, C, E, K, Folate, Calcium, Iron, magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium.
Chard - (Silver Beet) The vegetable that we all hated - boiled up and butter added. It has come a long way, it may not be as popular as spinach, but it is really easy to grow in your garden and never really dies off. It also tastes better raw than cooked, well that's what I think.
Nutrition - High in Vitamin C and A. Also has Vitamin B6, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium.
