Different types of vegetables have different nutritional values. Dark green vegetables are typically rich in calcium, iron, B vitamins and vitamin C . If you enjoy your greens as steamed vegetables instead of raw, you’ll actually get more nutritional value from them!

Yellow and red vegetables are typically good sources of vitamins A, C, E and carotenoids.

Vegetarians, like non-vegetarians should eat a diverse selection of vegetables to get the optimal amount of nutrition.

vegetarians often struggle to get enough protein and calcium. The protein and calcium that are so rich in animal and dairy products are absent from the vegetarian diet. There are vegetarians that eat dairy products and they shouldn’t have issues with calcium deficiency, but for the rest it can be a serious issue. The key point to remember is that vegetarians should eat larger amounts of vegetables that are high in protein and calcium. Asparagus and broccoli are examples of vegetables that are high in protein and most green leafy vegetables tend to be high in calcium.
