    This was great. However, I wonder if ranking not on the basis of a 100g comparison but based on typical serving sizes would've been smarter. After all, I won't eat 100g of garlic in one serving, while I'll easily eat more than 100g of sweet potatoes per serving. Now which of these realistically would have a bigger impact? Of course, I could do the math, but I feel having done the math in the video would've made things a lot more accessible and understandable for a real world setting. Either way, keep up the great work, you're an incredible source for information and have made being vegan so much easier!

    Love how a point is made that the only one in the list that isn't practical to eat 100g of in a serve is the chili pepper….. who TF eats 100g of garlic in a serve? 🤣

    This video inspired me to make a chickpea pasta dish using butternut squash as the base of the sauce (along with a reasonable serving of garlic, obviously)

    Yeah…my mum makes okra a lot..
    You just cut em into small pieces not that small.. about 2-3 cm wide and just spray some oil on the pan and add your okra followed by some salt and turmeric for colour (you could add black pepper but we usually don't..) and cook it until it's done..
    Wash your okra prior your cutting it.. don't add water…

    Such an awesome video 😄 My daughter and I watched it together and cheered on our favorite veggies lol. I was surprised broccoli didn't get 2nd after kale and also thought celery would rank much higher!

    I love every single one of these veggies and eat them every day…except celery😂🥴 I'm so sad that I cannot buy frozen (or fresh) kale at the moment.. where I live kale is a winter food for most "normal" people, so the stores stop carrying it in summer☹️ have to stick to spinach for now I guess😂 Also, thanks for this video! It was really well made and funny❤🌱🫡

    Stewed tomatoes and okra slice the okra in rings. Keep the hat just trim the stem. You can use canned whole tomatoes or diced a bit of butter salt n pepper cook till okra is tender when you pick out the okra small short is best the big ones are woody enjoy

    Hi, carbohydrate fruits, vegetables and grains and tubers are the most important. If your goal is to get fitter and lose body fat, you need the energy to train hard and recover fast, and these foods do that the more than anything else, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪

    I didn't realize that jalapenos and garlic were so healthy. I knew kale was healthy but didn't realize just how healthy it really is. We love your expression of "crunchy water!"

    Indian girl here and Indian kids love okra. Google “bhindi” recipes for more Indian okra recipes.

    Here’s how my mom made it and how she taught me.

    Ingredients
    Half an onion
    1 tsp coriander powder
    1/2 tsp turmeric
    1/2 tsp chilli powder
    1/4 tsp garam masala
    1 tsp whole cumin
    1/4 tsp ground fennel seeds
    1 tbsp oil
    Juice of 1/2 to one lemon (helps in controlling slimy ness)
    200-500 gm okra (depends on what ratio you like)

    Note: My mom never measured ingredients so I am eyeballing and recipes might need to be altered depending on taste preferences

    Method
    Heat the oil and add cumin seeds. Once they start popping, add the onion and keep mixing until it becomes golden. Add all the spices and mix until they become aromatic. Add the okra and lemon juice and cook for 10 minutes on open pan (may need to add 1-2 tbsp water at this point). Then cover and cook at slow flame for another 15-20 minutes until okra becomes fully cooked.

    Note: Some people add tomatoes. And the recipes and amount of spices might vary from household to household.

    Can you do a video or multiple videos, maybe by category, about cooking with each of these? Both how to wash and cut and a good way or two to use them? I’m trying to eat more variety but some of them intimidate me on how to prepare or maybe I have one dish I make with them because I’m not really sure of good ways to use. Thanks.
