There is a big thing going round at the moment that you should eat as many different veg, spices, legumes etc as you can to have a good gut biome.
But often its either to the rarer ones or the nasty tasting ones that are pushed.
For instance: Brussel sprouts come highly recommended because they contain Kaempferol. (This antioxidant has been studied for its many health-promoting properties, including its benefits for heart health.)
But if you look you find Kaempferol in.
apples, grapes, tomatoes, green tea, potatoes, onions, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, squash, cucumbers, lettuce, green beans, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, and spinach.
Chard and Kale contain Magnesium but so does Peanut butter and Baked beans,
So this is a question because I am no expert in this field and only know what I've looked up.
Which 10 common foods would give you everything you need for a good biome and a healthy heart?

Maybe but my waistline isn't agreeing Ah, That's quantity, not quality. You eat enough Kale and you get fat (Assuming you didn't die of boredom first)  |

Does anyone enjoy Kale? It's vile (IMHO)

Does anyone enjoy Kale? It's vile (IMHO) Agreed. That's why I wonder why they always put those ones first. Why not say Kale contains magnesium, but so does Peanut Butter and Whole meal Bread. |

Does anyone enjoy Kale? It's vile (IMHO) My Excellent Assistant™ certainly seems to. She rolls in every morning with a smoothie containing kale, banana, yoghurt and seemingly anything else in her fridge that couldn't move out of the way fast enough. It's a sort of pale yellowy khaki. And about as tasty as it looks. Edited by Ws pa. Not kale everyday. Today I got turmeric ginger banana and almond milk. It's great and much better for you than Ws 4 coffees before work. |

And about as tasty as it looks. We have a friend who is really into this stuff, she lives on smoothies. I suggested once that you might be able to add the Kale to a Raspberry smoothie to hide the taste. That didn't go down well. I think part of the health thing is the suffering. |

Does anyone enjoy Kale? It's vile (IMHO) Yes, steamed and served with butter. It's not very different from savoy cabbage. I like all green leafy veg and they are good for you. |

Does anyone enjoy Kale? It's vile (IMHO) Love it — especially sea kale!
But, like most veg (and some fruit) it probably depends on what you're having it with...
PS — I can understand the aversion to brussel sprouts, I can remember eating them in the UK years ago and it seemed like they'd been boiled for hours!!!

My mum used to put them on the hob boxing day ready for the next Christmas. But my point was really the fact that everyday veg like peas and carrots never seem to get a look in. |

My mum used to serve a Sunday lunch I once described as meat and 13 veg. Even being now a veggie I'd say you can have too much of a good thing.
Veg I love would be:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Asparagus
Potatoes
Sweetcorn and Corn on the Cob
Avocado
Peanuts
Onions
And those I detest:
Kale
Cabbage (unless in Cole Slaw)
Runner beans
Coconut

Which 10 common foods would give you everything you need for a good biome and a healthy heart? The issue is too complex to come to any firm conclusions beyond the obvious - this is why 'a bit of everything' is not a bad idea. For instance, you mention magnesium, but there are likely a large number of combinatory factors that make baked beans near useless and kale good. The combinatory factors and the nature of diet make it almost impossible to analyse in detail with confidence. . |
