This amazing vegetable queen can be prepared in so many ways that you can never get enough of it. Besides water which takes up the most of its share, it contains almost everything our bodies need. Let´s see – it has protein, fiber, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamins A, B, C, E, K, and Beta Carotene. All of these together help our bodies to:

Allegedly, it is also an aphrodisiac… It is not only for healthy lifestyle freaks though…
