They offer significant health benefits, including boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, promoting heart health, and aiding digestion, all while being easy to grow.
Key Health Benefits
- Immune & Anti-inflammatory Support: High in vitamin C (providing ~50% RDA per cup), they support immune function, reduce oxidative stress, and fight inflammation.
- Heart and Metabolic Health: Rich in folate, fiber, and carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, they help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and diabetes.
- Bone and Vision Health: They contain high levels of vitamin K for blood clotting and bone health, plus vitamin A for eye health.
- Nutritious Protein Source: They contain around 2 grams of protein per cup, making them a dense nutrient source for vegetarian or vegan diets.
- Weight Management: They are low in calories yet high in fiber, promoting satiety and helping control appetite.
