Some good options include green beans, radishes, carrots, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, squash, corn, potatoes, spinach, Swiss chard, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, pears, peaches, berries, apples, bananas, and citrus fruits. Make sure to combine different categories and foods to maximize your nutritional intake. You can purchase dried, canned, or fresh products.
