Nutrition Tier Lists: Vegetables
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2024
- Vegetables. Often the most stereotypically heathy food group that we as people regularly consume. For ages humans have gathered and planted stalks and roots and entire civilizations have flourished on them.
But does new science actually back this up or have we had the wool pulled over our eyes that this group of watered down salad fodders is more nutritious than we thought?
Today we are breaking down each one's pros and cons and having them face off head to head with one another to see which ones should be in your salad bowls and which ones are better left in the ground.
What I Would Change:
There are two different types of Vitamin K, each with different uses. To my knowledge, only Vitamin K1 is found in plant sources.
All nutrient data is pulled from the USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

I tried to cover the most popular vegetables on this list. Let me know if there are any others you would like to see me cover in an inevitable Part 2!
All types of legumes like lentils
@@kowner2752 He's already made one
@@addchannelname736 it didn't include Lentils
@@kowner2752 Look at his older videos
Was tomatoes in the fruits list? I think it should have been here.
Never have I been so excited to see my favorite vegetables ranked against other vegetables
what a life
What’s your favorite? I’m a beetroot (juice) guy.
@@jkhavaran spinach and carrots are better!
@@aaaaaaaaaa7814 I actually juice carrots with my beets. I love the beets for the inorganic nitrate which the body converts to nitric oxide. It’s incredible before a workout. That said, carrots and spinach are top tier.
@@jkhavaran Man, it sucks to hear they have workout benefits considering i absolutely despise the taste and texture of beets
I always knew that broccoli was a superior vegetable
It always gets a bad rap from people. I always thought because of the smell when cooked.
@@johnmarks227broccoli is fucking good granted I usually eat it with fried rice so prolly not the most nutritious but still good
Broccoli is the worst fking vegetable ever its the biggest scam hybrid vegetable, the more you eat the faster you get sick so are carrots
@@sabian5290 doesnt make the broccoli any less nutritious. Get white rice if you don't want extra oils or fats.
It is so strong it can turn legendary ssj 😜
Never in my life did I think I'd be subbing to a UA-cam channel because of a vegetable tier list
Lol same thought
😆
Haha wow I just subbed before reading your comment and I almost never sub to anything.
Same
The pure data with explanations in layman’s terms, the source cited, the lack of a bias or specific agenda, the admission that there is no perfect diet for anyone, just the cold hard facts presented in a clear and easy to understand format…. I could kiss you
guy deserves a smooch for sure!
Feels great when the food you're rooting for gets ranked well 😩
heh, root
Yes bc I always put broccili and carrots in ramen and theyre both A tier, I squealed with joy lol
Rooting for.. I see what you did there :d
I was rooting for cabbage, hbu?
@@clairejagels9598 love carrots
Seeing carrots get rated so well, makes me feel like a proud mom 😭😭😭😭❤️
Don't kid yourself, an ounce of beef liver has the highly bio-available version of vitamin A called retinol. That ounce of liver is worth 25 pounds of carrots...nutritionally.

Broccoli 🥦 for me❤
Carrot are D tier.
Fell to my knees and starting sobbing after that okra placement

Never saw a video that made me crave vegetables so much. Ate all the carrots from my fridge. Well done Sir!
Yeah I'm hungry as fuck right now I would eat all these vegetables raw even.
Bugs bunny style ?
yup, raw, with leaves at the end.@@bakaneko6639

Ofcourse eggplant is D tier 😏
Waaaaaaaa
Lmaooo
ayyy lmaooo

And Cucumbers go in the C tier which stands for co-
If you sold fridge magnets of the tiers, I would definitely buy!
Yes!
Genius idea
Where do I sign
you can screenshot and print the list..
@@brittaperry7994 no but an interactive list which could be sorted by for example calories, protein and so on that would be very very nice
Thank you so so much for taking the time to put a time stamp on each vegetable it’ll make it so much easier to find what I want to show my friends and fam, so again, thanks!
Very well sorted. I like how you made sure to point out the special features of seemingly low-ranking items.
after hating brocoli for 24 years, i tried to toast it on a pan with little bit of olive oil, chilli flakes, pepper and salt. I just let it char a bit, leaving it a bit hard and its rn my favourite food. Its good to see its top tier
That sounds delicious!
I have also been a long time broccoli hater, but i like it chopped small in stir fries because it sucks up a lot of sauce!
Broccoli is such a dark horse of the adult vegetable world, turns out everyone just cooked it badly when we were younger
I will never understand how someone can hate boiled broccoli. The worst you can say about it is that it is boring. Fried with a bunch of other vegetables, mushroom, oil etc is of course the tastiest though.
@@settratheimperishable4093 Boiled broccoli is a crime, give it the love it deserves and roast it or at the very least fry it
Brussels Sprouts have actually been improved significantly in flavor in the last 20 years or so.
They bred a certain chemical that has a bitter taste out of it.
So if you haven't tried them in a long time, give them another shot.
I stayed away from Brussels sprouts for the longest time due to its bad rep, but after finally trying it, it’s sooo good, especially when roasted!! One of my fave vegetables
@@tiedtomyships put a little honey and soy sauce in the pan ;) you`re welcome
When I was a kid every time there were Brussels sprouts on the menu at the school canteen, I ended up throwing up 😢. I was a good kid, so everytime I would try but I could never get over that nasty taste that made me nauseous.
(Hopefully for me my parents never cooked them at home).
Maybe I should give it a try again and try to a nice recipe🤔
@@DeemonitaI am a Brussel sprouts hater, but that sounds good!
@@leila_de_hautjardin like my original comment said, modern Brussels sprouts are chemically different now, they were hybrid to specifically remove the bitter taste that many people objected to.
So you should definitely try them again. Roasting is good because that triggers the development of sugars, and the sweetness definitely helps. It's easy to do, you just cut them in half, and put them in the oven on a sheet with some oil, cut side down, for 15 minutes or so (maybe longer, I can't remember).
Love this video! Making the case to bump peas up for their protein content, since no other veggie on this list contributes signicantly, and peas are a superior form of veggie protein that are easy to incorporate in recipes.
For the last time, WE DONT NEED A LOT OF PROTEIN. DAMM! DONT U PEOPLE EVEN LISTEN TO THE LATEST NEWS ON NUTRITION?
Why not?@@Alan-71351
"Brussel Sprouts are disgusting will go straight to the F tier"
I actually LOL'd at that 😂
Same, I had some with dinner right before this and howled! I hated them all my life but, I guess this is what it's like to grow up.
I was mad and yelled, “No they’re NOT disgusting!” 😊
I remember not liking them, but then I had some grilled in a vegetable mix and I loved it.
My mom hates them so I never had them until some fancy restaurant I went to for a work thing. I loved them pan fried with salt and rosemary in olive oil. When I teased my mom and made them for her she was surprised that she found them "edible" seems she had only had them boiled plain.
extra sprouts for me then...i love em.
I hated Brussels sprouts for 40 years of my life..until the day my mates Indian mother taught me that my own mother had been cooking them wrong. She made a curry with brussels & it was absolutely gorgeous. After eating this a few times, my palate completely changed its attitude towards brussels & I now eat them pretty much everyday, on dinners, grated into salads & in curries
Brussels sprouts were put through a period of genetic selection. As in, there was an effort to minimize the genetics that contributed to the bitterness. While cooking, usually by roasting, helps reduce bitterness and became more popular, genetics contributed largely as well.
I must be one of few people in the world who loves brussels! From this list I can't stand sweet potatoes (it is way too sweet for me) and eggplant mainly because if its hard skin and it is almost tasteless.
Palate, sry
Recipe?
Yeah I get flashbacks to my grandma's crappy boiled brussels sprouts. But roasted they are lit.
This video is so beautifully organized without too much fluff. It makes my adhd calm and focused. Truly excellent.
It's amazing how many of these I enjoyed yet was unaware that it was aggravating my thyroid condition. Gutted. Excellent review!.
My metastatic cancer is currently in remission. I'm excited about using your list to improve my choices and hopefully prolong the quality and duration of my life. My sister needs me, we love one another, and I want to stick around to be here for her. Thank you!!
Good luck! You can make it!
May you have many happy and healthy years!
Hope everything is going well with you, hope we hear from you soon.
I’m cheering for you!
Kick it in the butt!
Do a herb/spice antioxidant list. Obviously Sumac and Cloves are going to be the most potent antioxidants humans can get, but am still curious about all the other ones.
Good idea
Omg yes please
Yes give spices
It is not so obvious since you forgot Amla
@@kadajnoir7369 Amla, aka Indian Gooseberry is a fruit my friend. not a herb/spice, but I agree! Amla is there at the top of fruits with potent antioxidants.
I really appreciate that you talk about how some vegetables might affect somebody with IBS since I know someone with IBS and it is very useful information.
I am so glad my favorite vegetables were included in the superfood group (broccoli, carrot, spinach, sweet potato). I'll need to reduce my daily use of onions, tho, because it makes sense that they're exacerbating my IBS. Thanks for the visually-attractive, clear info in this video. It's my first time to your channel & I will be sharing the video & subscribing
This channel helps me look at food like 'buffs': certain foods give me certain extra perks that I otherwise wouldn't have throughout my daily life!
I love it hahah, me too
I love this comment lmfao
Gamer mentality! I do the same. LOL
Literally same, life is one giant video game
My life is like a video game...
I am a broccoli main, so I expect at least A tier. My builds usually include chilis, eggplants, and legumes, but broccoli itself is so diverse and also acts as a sub-build to cruciferous vegetables that it's incredibly easy to use it in a flex slot.
Top tier wording
Dang I love this.
im a broc main too
Broc and carrot main, was pleasantly surprised to see them on top. I need to get some XP with some of the other top tier vegs as well. Didn't know mustard greens were even a thing
Gamer detected
Fantastic video! Probably the best when it comes to the accuracy and quality of its content.
Great list, I am glad you took in some interesting vegetables, like parsnip and water chestnut!
Things that are missing in my opinion:
- black salsify (quite uncommon, but eaten in winter in Europe)
- yellow beet root
- chickpea
- BEANS(!!!)
- Fermented variations of food (e.g. kale, Sauerkraut, etc.)
Beans have their own list
Beans are on the Magical Fruit list
Chickpea are on the beans ranking list
Beans are shi-(Sorry to All british people).
@@jansievers5524 try rajma chawal, Indians do kidney beans and chickpeas well :)
As a picky eater I really appriciate these videos. I've been trying to eat healthier and these videos really help me understand what I should be prioritizing when planning meals
If you die young we know whose fault it is
Replace potatos by chilli peppers, celery salad by garlic and you'll be fine.
@@pavelperina7629 those things are hardly good replacements. It's not like in a recipe the dish will turn out the same if you replace a potato with a pepper. The food will not work
@@irgendeinname9256 you don't have to be harsh on them just for being a picky eater
@@dragonit6836don't take it too serious
Your videos are awesome for picky eaters like me who are trying to improve their diet and didn't learn much about a healthy diet as a kid. I thought all vegetables were equally beneficial before this video, and I feel more educated now. Even got some I plan to try!
Try getting Dr Berg's vegetable shake. It tastes like chocolate! Or you could try his cruciferous greens. You could also find a freeze dried grass fed liver pill: better than synthetic multis and is the healthiest thing there is, has all the vitamins you need. Is great for your body in many ways (have to start with low dose so you don't go into healing stage tho.)
For me, it’s finding food and recipes that allow you to take vegetables in a more approachable form. For me, it’s the sandwich/ wrap. You can do soooo much with just a Philly cheesesteak- onions, mushrooms, garlic, peppers, etc. soups and stews are also great though make stock from scratch or use low sodium for healthier soups. Herbs instead of salt/ sugar also adds a lot of flavor with nutrients. Rosemary is my favorite. I hope this helps, vegetables are really delicious if you find the way that you like them
@@danielcurren2119 Philly cheesesteak doesn't work for me. I hate mushrooms and onions. And trust me I've eaten them thousands of times, mostly by accident. But I still don't like it.
Thank you for your support and your fine work 👍
My favorite vegetables are asparagus, garlic and cucumber definitely. Even though cucumber didn’t get ranked that high, it still tastes refreshing and good.
I especially like making pesto pasta with asparagus on top, and then parmesan on the asparagus as it cooks in the pan. I’ve been craving this like every day, and I’m happy asparagus got ranked high since it’s such a good combo with pesto pasta
I would love to see a root/spice tier list which includes ginger and turmeric.
me too!
I would love that great idea
Turmeric is very anti-inflammatory however it impedes the absorption of iron :(
@@Juliukas101 any evidence for this? First time hearing it.
That would actually be such a good idea omg
I didn't expect chilli pepper to be THAT nutritiuous
Someone gonna get a sore tummy, too much chili and not enough celery! LOL. Love these lists though.
@@harmonicliving3507 well, mexicans are the most propense to sore tummy goven their consumption of peppers
Would this include paprika? Since it’s powdered
@@haff1088 Well paprika is grounded bell peppers so would probably join them in the A tier.
Ye but who's gonna eat 100g of chili's !!!!
Why is genetically modified a problem for vegetables?
(It’s not)
It's not, if a wild vegetable is growing on a less nutrients soil vs a genetic modified (selective bred) vegetables growing on more nutrients soil. Then I'd pick the 2nd option.
Much needed evaluation!!!
This should be shared everywhere!!
Broccoli is my go-to side veggie when I cook. When seasoned and cooked well it’s honestly pretty tasty, and I feel even better now about eating/liking it after you explained just how nutrient-dense they are 👍
Tbh, I do not get the common hate towards brocolli, like I really enjoy the flavour.
Now that it actually is really nutricious makes it even better
I always steam broccoli and have it alongside salmon filets
Oven roasted or air fried coated in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, finished with a squeeze of lemon and zest. Is my favorite way to cook broccoli. It works great with frozen broccoli, too. I used to only used fresh for this preparation. Until I watched someone use frozen and I think it tastes even better if you use frozen broccoli. Urban Accents citrus pepper seasoning blend works great in place of the garlic powder. I love that stuff on cauliflower and chicken, too.
Broccoli goes insane with anything creamy or cheesy. Herbs de Provence and pepper is my go to spice but a little nutmeg and turmeric also work great
Cooked well means nutrition cooked out.
Dude this is the most brutal way of shoving pure information over a long period of time directly into my face I have ever whitenessed here on UA-cam and I somehow dig it hard ^^
I think it works because a) it is indexed well and b) breaking it into a reductive tier list helps you digest the overwhelming torrent of details.
This is awesome. Thanks for your take on all these categories in your channel. I've been binge-watching it since last week hehe! Would be awesome if you would include antioxidants, phytochemical content, and overall gut health implications as well.
You videos are awesome man! And keep 'em coming - if you can then please dive deeper into the subjects of your most popular watched videos.
Finally another channel that has such great info on vital knowledge!
Wonderful video. Thank you. We chop an onion and some greens together and then add them raw to all our meals raw. Since I usually grow my own mustard greens we chop this with the onion. We also chop some onion any time we eat an egg. I think this is the reason we never get colds or the flue. Eva
Registered dietitian here! LOVE your videos. It’s so refreshing to see good nutrition advice on the internet 😂 keep it up! I would love to see tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and squash varieties in a future video
@@fjp709 I said tomato because he was including “culinary” vegetables
he included some of those in his fruit ranking video but defiantly agreed!
@@robjohn6943 What's unhealthy here is the deviding of food into "good" and "bad". Everything can be beneficial at some point if consumed moderatly. Considering the fact that vegetables are mostly carbs, denying their benefits and great health advantages JUST because they're carbs just goes to show how much disordered your statement is. Anyway, with that being said please don't take this the wrong way, all in good faith🫶🏼
@@robjohn6943 Must you bring your food politics into everything? Most people eat both plant and animal matter. So lists like this can help them pick a good balance. Listen to the pros and cons, of each food brought up on this list, and then plan your diet accordingly. Also, tehre is no one perfect meal plan. Everyone will have different needs. This is why we listen to actual dietitians and not randos on the internet.
@@robjohn6943 When I talk about food politics, I am talking about the Keto vs Vegan nonsense you randomly brought up. Not to mention when you lied about vegetables. There are countless clinical trials showing health benefits of adding vegetables to your meal.
In addition there are plenty of epidemiological studies showing strong health benefits of diets heavy on vegetables, like the Mediterranean. There is a reason vegetable heavy diets keep dominating the top spots for best diets.
This year I made resolutions to change my eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. I noticed being happier and just started to lose weight, and eat better. I’m so happy I stumbled upon these videos because they will help me make better health decisions. Thank you Talon fitness. Cheers
Good shit bro
Good luck on your journey mate! Hope you get to the point where you are absolutely addicted to fitness, cause there is no better feeling!
I would recommend the book Atomic Habits, really changed my outlook on myself, and it has helped me greatly with eating way healthier
Fantastic video, I would have loved to see cooking suggestions for each of these - ie herbs or cooking methods or meals these veggies work well in, in your opinion. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your content!
i love this kind of content
even without much planning it can easily make you realize some weakness in your current diet
One thing to consider about potatoes, is that there are hundreds of different varieties, so I wonder how much difference in nutrient profiles there is between them. Most people eat the standard white, yellow, or red from the store, but even within those broad categories there is a lot of potential variety.
I get purple sweet potatoes from the Asian market and they are very nutritious.
Purple has the most nutrients
Yess Japanese sweet potatoes are seriously superior sweet 🍠
You could say basically the same thing about most things on this list. There's tons of different varieties that you can't find in grocery stores for pretty much any vegetable
@@Merusclaws sweet potatoes and potatoes are a completely different species
The organization of this list was blissfully methodical and utterly satisfying to my OCD. The fact that you went to the length to even break the video into chapters (not only in the video itself, but in the notes below [both with time stamps and sectional chapters]) has me excited to save this video and refer to it for future dietary needs. Shared immediately and subscribed just as quickly. Thank you!
i also noticed how everything was in alphabetical order so i didn’t struggle at all looking for each vegetable’s segment
idk bro, that center aligned text is driving me crazy
the best I have seen to educate friends on veggies thank you so much
Great video, I really appreciate this format. Also the Brussel Sprout part had me rolling :D
As an avid forager I often simply go out into my yard and pluck common "weeds" to make soups, salads and cooked greens. I think it would be interesting to see a nutritional breakdown list of such plants as Dandelion, plantain, wild garlic, clover, cat's ear, chickory, purslane, lamb's quarters etc. All of which are quite common, easy to identify, typically abundant and best of all free. Of course, I already know that several I have listed are considered quite healthy but greater detail of all their properties as you present in your lists would be icing on the cake.
A bunch of indigestible cellulose most likely
What are you a rabbit?
Um... plantain??
Nettle is God tier! But probably A because it's stingy... lol
@Aly Baly As opposed to the purposely embedded carcinogens. Bless your little heart ❤️
I would love if you could do a nutritional tier list with different cooking oils/fats i.e. butter, olive oil, coconut, peanut, etc.
The best by far is olive oil, second avocado oil. Everything else is subpar.
@Adam V.
@MrBolaextra
Actually there's a lot of misconceptions out there about what the "healthiest cooking oil" is.
Look up the video "Top 10 cooking oils" by Dr. Sten Ekberg on UA-cam. He's very smart and really does a good job making you understand the good, bad, and ugly when it comes to cooking oils.
I'm sure many of these rankings will come as a shock to you, it surely was surprising to me. But I urge you to watch the video, as it's quite a good one and should help you understand fats better than ever before.
1. Ghee
2. Butter
3. Coconut Oil
4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5. Beef Tallow
6. Lard
7. Avocado Oil
8. Safflower Oil
9. Canola Oil
10. Soybean Oil
11. Flaxseed Oil
He groups lard as 5a and Beef Tallow as 5b, but once you understand the concepts he's saying, and look at the numbers for saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats, you can actually see that Beef Tallow is very slightly better than lard. Plus it has a slightly higher smoke point which is an extra plus. Hence why I changed them to 5 and 6, and everything else below them got bumped down one spot.
@@MrBolaextra ^^^
@@MrBolaextra Macadamia has a fairly similar fat profile as olive, but without the olive flavor. It's a good choice for cooking things like syrniki or winter squash.
@@MrBolaextra what about mustard oil ? I have read contradictory information on the internet.
My kiddos have sensory issues and won't eat very many foods. What they do eat is a LOT of raw veggies. And thankfully they eat mostly ones on the A & * tier. Came mostly looking for if there was anything I could see if they'd take on but they already do most of them.
This was a really reassuring video, thanks. :)
I love Garlic. I plan to grow it, dry it, and powder it. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in almost all my basic cooking. You do not eat a lot of it, but, it is nice to know that something so amazingly flavorful is actually so positively good for us.
I just eat it raw ._.
I love it too and use it often. Glad to find it's top tier.
I love garlic. it's already growing in my garden since 1 month
It is very easy to grow. When we moved to our retirement home I found that the garlic was 5 dollars each. That was over 5 years ago. Costs more now.
Plant in the fall and cover very well with leaves, hay, etc. Put boards or tarps over it. Take off in the spring. You will see the garlic popping up. Remove the curly part when the show up a month or so later. These can be eaten.
I put a lot of my garlic in the food processor with cold pressed oil. Mix. Put into ice cube trays. Then intl a container for the freezer. Very easy to use.
@@Lewisking50 Ah, a fellow vampire hunter.
This was JUST what I needed. No problems scratching my head at the grocery store anymore wondering which vegetables to rather take and if my vitamins requirements will be met. Thanks a lot!
Eats vegetables, your vitamins will be met. Don't need a list for this, especially tinking eatin only broccoli is the way to go. Eggplants are very healthy too, you better eat vegetabkes you like in high quantitythan looking at a list
@@tm.8399 yes! also diversity is good so switch it up for a balanced nutrient profile
Wow! Thanks for this! Very informative.
I printed the chart out and put it on my fridge.
I'll have you know Brussel sprouts are the most versatile veggie because you can cook it in every way (grill, blanch, broil, glaze, saute, braise, etc) and slut it up to make it taste like any savory, sweet or sour thing you want. S tier
Assuming we are going to get a mushroom list at some point since we lost them off this list, so we need grains, spices, herbs & dairy. Maybe a popular snacks one like crisps (chips), chocolate & sweets (candy) but let’s be honest we will probably only need F tier for that one lol
Chocolate would be higher than F tier as long as it's not white or milk chocolate. Dark chocolate actually has some good health benefits provided you eat it in moderation.
@@chriswhinery925 ye that’s true, a little bit of the good quality dark choc is actually good for depression & anxiety I hear, I was thinking more of your standard chocolate bars like Mars, Cadbury etc delicious but not good for you lol
@@chriswhinery925 It might even be as high as C tier on a general list.
Dairy also only needs the F tier
There can be distinction even between "junk" or snack foods. Like for example, candy doesn't offer anything nutritionally other than sugar, but pies can have real fruit in them which provides some micronutrients, ice cream brings the nutritional benefits of dairy, etc.
Honestly, I didn't know how much I needed to watch this video. Learned a lot, and the way it's all being presented is pristine. Simple, very informative, and just a joy to watch.
My fellow sweet potato fiends where you at
Yes, yams and potatoes beefy relative. This muli-versatile vegetable has been a main stay in my meal plans, as essential vitamins and powerful taste are always my lookout point.
Thank you!! This is brilliant! More please!!
My grandma ate garlic with her dinner (or breakfast, I don't remember) every single day. One clove, raw, diced. She was super healthy, never had a broken bone, died at age 93. For the small price of slightly smelling of garlic all the time. :D

You should do a tier list of salads, would be an interesting twist to look at how certain combinations of foods cover the bases
also comparing calories!! some salads, especially in restaurants, are NOT the healthy choice on the menu. There's apparently one at cheesecake factory that's almost 2000 calories
@@jlt131sounds like a food for me (or anyone else bulking), likely nutritious enough while being calory dense.
@@settratheimperishable4093 It's often a lot of high-fat dressing, nuts & seeds, cheese, and bacon bits. Avocado bumps it way up too. Chopped up (baked) chicken nuggets. Lots of ways to add tasty and not unhealthy calories (ok maybe easy on the bacon)...I wish there were more tasty low cal options! I need to borrow someone else's palate for a while 😆
@@jlt131 I suppose (if you're a habitual snacker like me) snacking on blueberries or something would be pretty ace for general health and weight loss. But yeah going easy on bacon is seldom an easy thing when your body screams yes please more.

love all these list. been trying to get all my family and friends to eat healthier these last two years and this channel is the perfect go to. Thanks for your hard work!
Wow, I really didn't expect Broccoli and Carrots to rank so high. I mean I have purposefully been changing my diet to include more vitamin heavy vegetables but I still wasn't sure how good I was doing. This ranking definitely has me feeling better about my go-to vegetables being broccoli, cauliflower, onions, brussel sprouts, and if I'm in the mood, carrots, bell peppers, green beans, and asparagus thrown in. Everything in my list, except cauliflower, are all in the top 2 lines of ranking! Wow!
Amazing and helpful video thank you so much!!! I really wished you have putted one of my very top vegies on the list though and that is parsley

I would add green beans helps control blood sugar levels which is something you missed noting. They are excellent vegetable for those with diabetes and great for raw and cooked meals and snacks.
I would love to see one on summer squashes and winter squashes and one on bitter greens like chard, escarole, radicchio etc as well as sunchokes, kohlrabi, parsley root and fennel. Great information thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for including foods that can cause problems to people with IBS, I haven’t been able to find a go to safe vegetable for years now but hopefully this video will help me rule out some that aren’t even worth the struggle
See FODMAP for help finding safe and unsafe foods. I do diet just till outbreak is settled. Then add no go food one by one till I find an allergin. So far my tummy is way happier without cabbage, apple, tomato innerds/seeds, raw onions, raw garlic.
watching this and wishing i found you and this channel when my family elders were still alive. i lost 2 of the most influential people in my life, my mom and my aunt, to health related issues (cancer and heart failure). i cant help it feel like knowing this and actually putting to use what i learned here could of made a massive difference. anyways thank you so much for you videos and all your hard work. i'm 100% sure they've drastically reduced hospital trips and saved lives without you ever even knowing who or when.
It's very hard to change other people's habits, so don't be too sad about it.
glad to see all the peppers as well as onion get ranked so high :) they're my faves
Thank you for such a well informed list 🎉🎉
I was just watching your old vegetable video and now here's an update! I'm glad you mentioned that some of these vegetables are actually fruits. This is a nutrition video so it makes sense to divide along culinary lines and not botanical ones.
I don't care about botanical stuff. I want to be healthy.
wait, is that video still on youtube becuase I would love to watch it
It is nonsense to say some of these vegetables “are actually fruits.” Vegetable is a culinary category. Culinarily, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants etc are vegetables.
ALL PEPPERS ARE FRUITS
There isn't another vegetable video on this channel
I'm studying to teach agricultural education and you can bet I'll be showing this video to my students one day. Not to mention using it as a basis for what to plant in my own garden. Outstanding work my friend you deserve a Nobel prize for this.
I would recommend getting The Victory Garden Cookbook by Morash. It has always been my go-to Bible for vegetable cooking. The lemon-butter sauce is amazing on broccoli and cauliflower.❤
I would have mostly agreed with this list five years ago. Having done research on anti nutrients since then, I would place spinach a lot lower down. The body can have a hard time eliminating oxalate, especially if one has accumulated a lot over the years. Problems do not surface until it is too late, and people have bad joints as a result of it. It's been described as tiny shards of hard minerals that lodge into the joints, and probably other parts of the body, especially the kidneys.
This was glorious well done. Excellent video.
Broccoli, carrot, kale, and spinach were already among my regulars (as are cucumber, romaine, and dill pickle). My main takeaways from this are that I need to eat more garlic, give collard and mustard greens a try, and give arugula and watercress a try as well.
As it is, I switched from iceberg as my main lettuce for salads to romaine almost entirely because iceberg would spoil in days if not hours of purchase, while romaine can hold up for weeks in the fridge and can be chopped up for a salad far in advance as well with minimal loss of texture.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who dislikes the taste of brussel sprouts. I buy, cook, and eat them regardless just because of their nutrition density.
My sister baked them. She took the leaves off and laid them all in the cookie sheet. I think she used salt and pepper. They were crispy and yummy, like eating a chip.
I was about to say the same thing! Roasted Brussels sprouts are incredible, highly recommend, way better than just boiling or steaming them
@@KWolf-129 I've tried them roasted a couple times and don't like them. Frying them in a hot iron skillet with butter and fresh garlic though, that's growing on me.
They're still just a vegetable which I eat because they're nutrient dense and high in fiber, even though I don't like the taste.
I love that someone took the time to make this tier list with this much details
Thank you. Great info!
As a fairly fussy eater, I am so glad that I happen to love Brussels sprouts. Really don't get the heat - if anything, they might be somewhat dull to some people, but I cannot understanding "disgusting". Also, you made my day by putting both carrot and broccoli in the top tier. They are my go-to veggies, alongside Brussels sprouts, capsicum and beans.
They probably boil it with no salt
You had me at brussels; you are Not a picky eater; I guess I am
Your videos are definitely star-tier, thanks a lot!
I'd love to see grains (bulgur, cousclus and such) , pastas, rice rtc ranked!
If cousclus is a misspelling of couscous, that's just pasta.
First time to ever land on your channel. I appreciate the mic quality, proper voicing, well-timed editing and concise, well-organized details throughout the entirety of the video. Once I realized all your vegetables were alphabetized, I knew I wanted to Subscribe to your channel to support all the work you put into your videos.
love the tierlists🥰
Have been looking for this kind of video for a long time. 🙏
I would like to thank you for making the Nutrition Tier List videos. It helps me to plan out meals with the ingredients in mind!
Loving the content. Would love a mushroom tier list 😍
🤢
Brussel sprouts can actually be quite delicious if you season/cook them right.
Cut ‘em in half, toss ‘em in your cooking oil of choice. Season with salt, pepper, onion, garlic, herbs, and optional chili flakes. Spread them in a roasting pan and put them in the oven at 425F for about 30 minutes. You’ll wanna flip ‘em about halfway through.
I roasted off a batch for a Bible-study-group-party, and they were such a hit I almost wasn’t able to get a serving for myself 😅 Next time I’ll make a double batch.
Brussel sprouts are actually amazing if you boil them first and then fry them in a little oil. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and you've got one of my favorite meals
Try it raw. It’ll have you brushing your tongue for a week
@@truebezzy12 no thanks lol, never had a bad experience with them and i'd like to keep it that way :p
@@truebezzy12i ate it raw. I tasted like a cabbage lol
I been recommending your channel to everyone! Thank you for all of this very valuable information. I switched from chicken thighs to breasts and grapes to blue berries so far and now i am ready to make possible changes with vegetables. Though i am guessing my heavy broccoli consumption will be just fine.
I've seen a lot of tier list videos over a lot of topics. This one definitely had the most emotional investment.
If you were to sell this in a laminated fridge friendly format, maybe with fun facts or reference charts on the back, I'd buy.
LOVE your opinion on brussel sprouts and also the fact that it doesn’t affect their placement on this list :D
I hope there is part 2.
Possible items, partial listing: seaweed, water spinach, ram ram (rice vegetable from Vietnam 🇻🇳), bamboo shoots, yam, yam leaves, chilli leaves, beet greens, dandelions, daikon, celeriac, mushrooms, taro roots, tapioca, breadfruit.
My go to vegetables are broccoli and spinach. It's nice to see that they're doing a great job in your list too.
I'm also pleased that I don't like any of the D tier vegetables and rarely consume C tier produce. However, I'm surprised that cauliflower didn't do better.
Surprised as to cauliflower ranking as well.
Go easy on the high oxalate spinach. It can come back to bite you.
You are missing out. Prepared the right way eggplants are super tasty
I can't believe no one is talking about the lack of Zucchini in this list
@@irgendeinname9256 Now that you've mentioned it: you're totally right! Zucchini were shamefully neglected. They are an absolute top tier candidate too imo.
I love this tier list, I started incluidng vegetables in my dinners everyday and I love it!
Man I'd really love a part 2 of this tierlist
thank you so much, GREAT VIDEO, WELL DONE!!
I'm looking forward to the grains list, and I expect it to be harsh because so many are high in carbs, low in nutrients, and very commonly genetically modified.
why is high carbs a bad thing? You need carbs just as much as you need vitamins
Genetically modified is also not a bad thing. Almost Literally every grown food product is genetically selected into the physical state its in.
I too am looking forward to it, and where oats are ranked
High carbs = high oxidative stress on your body.
