It may be the vegetable you hated as a kid, but broccoli deserves a lot of love. This tree-like green veggie has about 34 calories for every 100 grams. It can be eaten raw or cooked and can be made into anything from dips to soups to salads.
Nutrition wise, broccoli is a powerhouse. It is a great source of vitamin C (148 per cent of your daily intake on a 2,000 calorie diet), vitamin A and fibre. It's also linked to boost healthy aging and lower the risk of breast cancer — talk about a superfood!
