I'll list some of the benefits and vitamins found in each plant that makes up my lunch.
We find there:
Carrot : Remarkable source of beta-carotene, soft fiber, B vitamins, antioxidant.
Sweet potato : Its orange flesh has antioxidant properties thanks to beta-carotene, which it contains twice as much as carrots.
Broccoli : Antioxidant, source of vitamin C and rich in dietary fiber.
Cauliflower : Rich in vitamin C, and also contains vitamin B9 and selenium.
Bok choy : Rich in dietary fiber, antioxidant, and has a high content of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Beetroot : Excellent source of antioxidants and high in vitamins and minerals.
Rabiole : Antioxidant, source of vitamins A and C.
Kale : Antioxidant, rich in vitamin A and fiber.
Red Cabbage & Green Cabbage : Antioxidants, rich in fiber, good source of iron and vitamin C.
Radicchio : Antioxidant, rich in fiber, source of vitamins and minerals, among other things for its richness in vitamin K.
Fennel : Rich in antioxidants and fiber, contains B vitamins, including vitamin B9.
Red radish : Antioxidant, rich in fiber.
Mung beans : Antioxidants, rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Parsley : Antioxidant, excellent source of iron and vitamin C.
Apple : rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants and particularly polyphenols.
Avocado : Contains unsaturated fatty acids, many vitamins, fiber and phytosterols.
Walnuts : Contains a particularly high amount of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, as well as copper, phosphorus, vitamins E, B6 and B9 (folic acid).
Damari : Rich in proteins, enzymes and lactobacilli.
Apple cider vinegar : Rich in vitamins, essential acids, minerals such as potassium and magnesium, enzymes, and also iron.
Argan Oil : Rich in antioxidant compounds and unsaturated fats, as well as vitamin E, carotenoids, sterols and polyphenols.
Olive Oil : Has a high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and is rich in polyphenols.
Hydrolyzed Collagen with Hyaluronic Acid : Each serving of marine collagen provides 8g of protein. Highly bioavailable (easily absorbed) and helps maintain healthy joints.
Muscadine : Its antioxidant phytonutrients work by binding and inactivating free radicals in the blood and tissues.
Pomegranate : Rich source of a variety of phytochemicals, which are responsible for its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential.
Acai : Has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. May protect against metabolic stress induced by oxidation, inflammation, vascular abnormalities, and physical exertion.
Goji : Helps reduce oxidative stress and prevent free radicals from damaging DNA, lipids and proteins.
Grapes : A significant source of phytochemicals, especially resveratrol and its enormous antioxidant potential.
Amla : Its rich composition in polyphenols and vitamin C gives it antioxidant activity.
Cranberry : Rich in polyphenols such as phenolic acids, anthocyanins and flavonoids.
Aronia : Differs in its content of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, amino acids, organic acids, fats, aromatic compounds and especially polyphenols.
Sea buckthorn : Its exceptional value is reflected in the presence of antioxidants, mainly carotenoids and tocopherols, and hydrophilic antioxidants - flavonoids, tannins, phenolic acids, ascorbic acid - in remarkably high quantities.
Camu camu : Has unique vitamin C content, as well as flavonoid and anthocyanin content and antioxidant capabilities.
Acerola : Rich in vitamins, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and bioactive compounds such as ascorbic acid. Its high vitamin C content is truly remarkable.

Baobab : Baobab pulp is particularly rich in vitamin C, procyanidins (anti-inflammatory) and flavanol glycosides (antioxidant and anti-inflammatory), with tiliroside (antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant) being the main constituent. The pulp and leaves have antioxidant properties.
Spirulina & Chlorella : Rich in vitamins B1, B2, B6, E, and K. Also contains chlorophyll, iron, sulfur, and minerals. Rich in antioxidants and the essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid. Spirulina is a rich source of protein, and chlorella is excellent for systemic health. All algae aid the body in the elimination of heavy metals and support neurological function and mental clarity.
Citrus Peels : Contains significant amounts of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, calcium to stimulate bone development, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioflavonoids.
Papaya : Has a very high vitamin C content. A source of vitamin A and antioxidants. Improves iron absorption, contains fiber, aiding digestion.
Elderberry : Distinguished by its concentration of various highly antioxidant polyphenols (anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids and proanthocyanidins). Sunflower sprouts: Rich in nutrients, such as the antioxidant vitamin E, vitamin B6, folate, magnesium, selenium and zinc.
Watercress : Important source of iron, folic acid, calcium, vitamins A, C and E.
Celery : Rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, 3-n-Butylphthalide, coumaric acid, kaempferol, apegin, as well as vitamin K, an essential nutrient for bone health.
