Introduction: As the weather warms, a wide variety of vegetables have come into season. You've probably all heard the saying, "Eat vegetables of different colors for a balanced diet." Many mothers must be worrying about how to get picky children to eat more vegetables. When we talk about colored vegetables, people often overlook "white vegetables," but little do they know that white vegetables are rich in nutrients that other colored vegetables lack. In a report on May 15, the Japanese website WooRis introduced five white vegetables we should eat more of. Let's take a look!
1. Cauliflower
According to research, the sulfur compounds in cauliflower can inhibit the growth and reproduction of cancer cells, strengthen bones, and promote blood circulation.

2. Garlic
In addition to being a food, garlic also promotes hair growth, removes acne, prevents colds, and boosts immunity. For better results, let the chopped garlic sit for a few minutes before cooking it, as its effects are enhanced when exposed to air.
3. Mushrooms
Mushrooms are low in calories and fat and are rich in potassium, riboflavin for promoting growth and development, and vitamin D, making them a great choice for weight-loss meals and home cooking.

4. Onion
Quercetin contained in onions is not only helpful for reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms of acute gouty arthritis, but also has anti-aging and anti-cancer properties, and can lower the risk of developing diabetes.
5. Potato
Potatoes contain more plant fiber and potassium than other fruits and vegetables. In addition, they are rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, and high-quality protein.
