I will never understand how someone can hate boiled broccoli. The worst you can say about it is that it is boring. Fried with a bunch of other vegetables, mushroom, oil etc is of course the tastiest though.
Yes, yams and potatoes beefy relative. This muli-versatile vegetable has been a main stay in my meal plans, as essential vitamins and powerful taste are always my lookout point.
OMG they're so good. Just toss them in the oven for a while, and you'll have deliciously caramelized, fruity sweet, wonderfully soft foods that keep in the fridge for like 2 weeks!

I hated Brussels sprouts for 40 years of my life..until the day my mates Indian mother taught me that my own mother had been cooking them wrong. She made a curry with brussels & it was absolutely gorgeous. After eating this a few times, my palate completely changed its attitude towards brussels & I now eat them pretty much everyday, on dinners, grated into salads & in curries
Brussels sprouts were put through a period of genetic selection. As in, there was an effort to minimize the genetics that contributed to the bitterness. While cooking, usually by roasting, helps reduce bitterness and became more popular, genetics contributed largely as well.
I must be one of few people in the world who loves brussels! From this list I can't stand sweet potatoes (it is way too sweet for me) and eggplant mainly because if its hard skin and it is almost tasteless.
My metastatic cancer is currently in remission. I'm excited about using your list to improve my choices and hopefully prolong the quality and duration of my life. My sister needs me, we love one another, and I want to stick around to be here for her. Thank you!!
Dude this is the most brutal way of shoving pure information over a long period of time directly into my face I have ever whitenessed here on TH-cam and I somehow dig it hard ^^
Brussels Sprouts have actually been improved significantly in flavor in the last 20 years or so. They bred a certain chemical that has a bitter taste out of it. So if you haven't tried them in a long time, give them another shot.
I stayed away from Brussels sprouts for the longest time due to its bad rep, but after finally trying it, it’s sooo good, especially when roasted!! One of my fave vegetables
When I was a kid every time there were Brussels sprouts on the menu at the school canteen, I ended up throwing up 😢. I was a good kid, so everytime I would try but I could never get over that nasty taste that made me nauseous. (Hopefully for me my parents never cooked them at home). Maybe I should give it a try again and try to a nice recipe🤔
@@leila_de_hautjardin like my original comment said, modern Brussels sprouts are chemically different now, they were hybrid to specifically remove the bitter taste that many people objected to. So you should definitely try them again. Roasting is good because that triggers the development of sugars, and the sweetness definitely helps. It's easy to do, you just cut them in half, and put them in the oven on a sheet with some oil, cut side down, for 15 minutes or so (maybe longer, I can't remember).
Thank you so so much for taking the time to put a time stamp on each vegetable it’ll make it so much easier to find what I want to show my friends and fam, so again, thanks!
This year I made resolutions to change my eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. I noticed being happier and just started to lose weight, and eat better. I’m so happy I stumbled upon these videos because they will help me make better health decisions. Thank you Talon fitness. Cheers
Your videos are awesome for picky eaters like me who are trying to improve their diet and didn't learn much about a healthy diet as a kid. I thought all vegetables were equally beneficial before this video, and I feel more educated now. Even got some I plan to try!
Try getting Dr Berg's vegetable shake. It tastes like chocolate! Or you could try his cruciferous greens. You could also find a freeze dried grass fed liver pill: better than synthetic multis and is the healthiest thing there is, has all the vitamins you need. Is great for your body in many ways (have to start with low dose so you don't go into healing stage tho.)
For me, it’s finding food and recipes that allow you to take vegetables in a more approachable form. For me, it’s the sandwich/ wrap. You can do soooo much with just a Philly cheesesteak- onions, mushrooms, garlic, peppers, etc. soups and stews are also great though make stock from scratch or use low sodium for healthier soups. Herbs instead of salt/ sugar also adds a lot of flavor with nutrients. Rosemary is my favorite. I hope this helps, vegetables are really delicious if you find the way that you like them
@@danielcurren2119 Philly cheesesteak doesn't work for me. I hate mushrooms and onions. And trust me I've eaten them thousands of times, mostly by accident. But I still don't like it.
Registered dietitian here! LOVE your videos. It’s so refreshing to see good nutrition advice on the internet 😂 keep it up! I would love to see tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and squash varieties in a future video
@@robjohn6943 What's unhealthy here is the deviding of food into "good" and "bad". Everything can be beneficial at some point if consumed moderatly. Considering the fact that vegetables are mostly carbs, denying their benefits and great health advantages JUST because they're carbs just goes to show how much disordered your statement is. Anyway, with that being said please don't take this the wrong way, all in good faith🫶🏼
@@robjohn6943 Must you bring your food politics into everything? Most people eat both plant and animal matter. So lists like this can help them pick a good balance. Listen to the pros and cons, of each food brought up on this list, and then plan your diet accordingly. Also, tehre is no one perfect meal plan. Everyone will have different needs. This is why we listen to actual dietitians and not randos on the internet.
@@robjohn6943 When I talk about food politics, I am talking about the Keto vs Vegan nonsense you randomly brought up. Not to mention when you lied about vegetables. There are countless clinical trials showing health benefits of adding vegetables to your meal. In addition there are plenty of epidemiological studies showing strong health benefits of diets heavy on vegetables, like the Mediterranean. There is a reason vegetable heavy diets keep dominating the top spots for best diets.
Do a herb/spice antioxidant list. Obviously Sumac and Cloves are going to be the most potent antioxidants humans can get, but am still curious about all the other ones.
@@kadajnoir7369 Amla, aka Indian Gooseberry is a fruit my friend. not a herb/spice, but I agree! Amla is there at the top of fruits with potent antioxidants.
I'm studying to teach agricultural education and you can bet I'll be showing this video to my students one day. Not to mention using it as a basis for what to plant in my own garden. Outstanding work my friend you deserve a Nobel prize for this.
I would recommend getting The Victory Garden Cookbook by Morash. It has always been my go-to Bible for vegetable cooking. The lemon-butter sauce is amazing on broccoli and cauliflower.❤
I am a broccoli main, so I expect at least A tier. My builds usually include chilis, eggplants, and legumes, but broccoli itself is so diverse and also acts as a sub-build to cruciferous vegetables that it's incredibly easy to use it in a flex slot.
Broc and carrot main, was pleasantly surprised to see them on top. I need to get some XP with some of the other top tier vegs as well. Didn't know mustard greens were even a thing
Honestly, I didn't know how much I needed to watch this video. Learned a lot, and the way it's all being presented is pristine. Simple, very informative, and just a joy to watch.
This was JUST what I needed. No problems scratching my head at the grocery store anymore wondering which vegetables to rather take and if my vitamins requirements will be met. Thanks a lot!
Eats vegetables, your vitamins will be met. Don't need a list for this, especially tinking eatin only broccoli is the way to go. Eggplants are very healthy too, you better eat vegetabkes you like in high quantitythan looking at a list
Eating a raw carrot while hearing this list in the background. Get rid of all your unhealthy snacks and grab yourself a good raw peeled carrot! This was life-changing advice for me!
My mom hates them so I never had them until some fancy restaurant I went to for a work thing. I loved them pan fried with salt and rosemary in olive oil. When I teased my mom and made them for her she was surprised that she found them "edible" seems she had only had them boiled plain.
Omg I love that you put a time stamp for each benefits! This way, I can just go to the description when I want to look up a specific vegetable. Thank you
Broccoli is my go-to side veggie when I cook. When seasoned and cooked well it’s honestly pretty tasty, and I feel even better now about eating/liking it after you explained just how nutrient-dense they are 👍
Oven roasted or air fried coated in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, finished with a squeeze of lemon and zest. Is my favorite way to cook broccoli. It works great with frozen broccoli, too. I used to only used fresh for this preparation. Until I watched someone use frozen and I think it tastes even better if you use frozen broccoli. Urban Accents citrus pepper seasoning blend works great in place of the garlic powder. I love that stuff on cauliflower and chicken, too.
I love Garlic. I plan to grow it, dry it, and powder it. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in almost all my basic cooking. You do not eat a lot of it, but, it is nice to know that something so amazingly flavorful is actually so positively good for us.
It is very easy to grow. When we moved to our retirement home I found that the garlic was 5 dollars each. That was over 5 years ago. Costs more now. Plant in the fall and cover very well with leaves, hay, etc. Put boards or tarps over it. Take off in the spring. You will see the garlic popping up. Remove the curly part when the show up a month or so later. These can be eaten. I put a lot of my garlic in the food processor with cold pressed oil. Mix. Put into ice cube trays. Then intl a container for the freezer. Very easy to use.
I consider you one of the TH-cam nutrition experts one of the few I follow. I am an expert in functional nutrition with 20 years of study and I already know about 90% of what you say and that confirms that the other last 10% I should learn.
I looked around trying to find out if he's actually a credentialed expert but couldn't find anything. Where are you seeing his educational credentials?
As an avid forager I often simply go out into my yard and pluck common "weeds" to make soups, salads and cooked greens. I think it would be interesting to see a nutritional breakdown list of such plants as Dandelion, plantain, wild garlic, clover, cat's ear, chickory, purslane, lamb's quarters etc. All of which are quite common, easy to identify, typically abundant and best of all free. Of course, I already know that several I have listed are considered quite healthy but greater detail of all their properties as you present in your lists would be icing on the cake.
@Adam V. @MrBolaextra Actually there's a lot of misconceptions out there about what the "healthiest cooking oil" is. Look up the video "Top 10 cooking oils" by Dr. Sten Ekberg on TH-cam. He's very smart and really does a good job making you understand the good, bad, and ugly when it comes to cooking oils. I'm sure many of these rankings will come as a shock to you, it surely was surprising to me. But I urge you to watch the video, as it's quite a good one and should help you understand fats better than ever before. 1. Ghee 2. Butter 3. Coconut Oil 4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 5. Beef Tallow 6. Lard 7. Avocado Oil 8. Safflower Oil 9. Canola Oil 10. Soybean Oil 11. Flaxseed Oil He groups lard as 5a and Beef Tallow as 5b, but once you understand the concepts he's saying, and look at the numbers for saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats, you can actually see that Beef Tallow is very slightly better than lard. Plus it has a slightly higher smoke point which is an extra plus. Hence why I changed them to 5 and 6, and everything else below them got bumped down one spot.
@@MrBolaextra Macadamia has a fairly similar fat profile as olive, but without the olive flavor. It's a good choice for cooking things like syrniki or winter squash.
Assuming we are going to get a mushroom list at some point since we lost them off this list, so we need grains, spices, herbs & dairy. Maybe a popular snacks one like crisps (chips), chocolate & sweets (candy) but let’s be honest we will probably only need F tier for that one lol
Chocolate would be higher than F tier as long as it's not white or milk chocolate. Dark chocolate actually has some good health benefits provided you eat it in moderation.
@@chriswhinery925 ye that’s true, a little bit of the good quality dark choc is actually good for depression & anxiety I hear, I was thinking more of your standard chocolate bars like Mars, Cadbury etc delicious but not good for you lol
There can be distinction even between "junk" or snack foods. Like for example, candy doesn't offer anything nutritionally other than sugar, but pies can have real fruit in them which provides some micronutrients, ice cream brings the nutritional benefits of dairy, etc.
watching this and wishing i found you and this channel when my family elders were still alive. i lost 2 of the most influential people in my life, my mom and my aunt, to health related issues (cancer and heart failure). i cant help it feel like knowing this and actually putting to use what i learned here could of made a massive difference. anyways thank you so much for you videos and all your hard work. i'm 100% sure they've drastically reduced hospital trips and saved lives without you ever even knowing who or when.
One thing to consider about potatoes, is that there are hundreds of different varieties, so I wonder how much difference in nutrient profiles there is between them. Most people eat the standard white, yellow, or red from the store, but even within those broad categories there is a lot of potential variety.
You could say basically the same thing about most things on this list. There's tons of different varieties that you can't find in grocery stores for pretty much any vegetable
Thank you so much for including foods that can cause problems to people with IBS, I haven’t been able to find a go to safe vegetable for years now but hopefully this video will help me rule out some that aren’t even worth the struggle
See FODMAP for help finding safe and unsafe foods. I do diet just till outbreak is settled. Then add no go food one by one till I find an allergin. So far my tummy is way happier without cabbage, apple, tomato innerds/seeds, raw onions, raw garlic.

also comparing calories!! some salads, especially in restaurants, are NOT the healthy choice on the menu. There's apparently one at cheesecake factory that's almost 2000 calories
@@settratheimperishable4093 It's often a lot of high-fat dressing, nuts & seeds, cheese, and bacon bits. Avocado bumps it way up too. Chopped up (baked) chicken nuggets. Lots of ways to add tasty and not unhealthy calories (ok maybe easy on the bacon)...I wish there were more tasty low cal options! I need to borrow someone else's palate for a while 😆
@@jlt131 I suppose (if you're a habitual snacker like me) snacking on blueberries or something would be pretty ace for general health and weight loss. But yeah going easy on bacon is seldom an easy thing when your body screams yes please more.
It's not, if a wild vegetable is growing on a less nutrients soil vs a genetic modified (selective bred) vegetables growing on more nutrients soil. Then I'd pick the 2nd option.
@@edan513 GMOs thrive better on less nutritious soil yes I think we can all agree on that but if both gmos and non gmos grow on a very rich soil then I wouldn't have a problem eating them both since they are both comparably good. Also GMO doesn't necessarily mean grown in the labs, they are selective bred for bigger portions, more resistant to pests and sometimes to be less toxic like wild cucumbers (non-Gmo) that are actually more toxic than the (Gmo) regular cucumbers.
My grandma ate garlic with her dinner (or breakfast, I don't remember) every single day. One clove, raw, diced. She was super healthy, never had a broken bone, died at age 93. For the small price of slightly smelling of garlic all the time. :D
I was just watching your old vegetable video and now here's an update! I'm glad you mentioned that some of these vegetables are actually fruits. This is a nutrition video so it makes sense to divide along culinary lines and not botanical ones.
It is nonsense to say some of these vegetables “are actually fruits.” Vegetable is a culinary category. Culinarily, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants etc are vegetables.
@@illujion6516 thanks for your reply. oils contain no protein, no fiber and virtually no vitamins. very fattening since they have 9 calories per gram ! butter is worse
@@raskolnikov6645 thanks for your reply, but Olive oil (all oils) contain no protein, no fiber and virtually no vitamins. very fattening since it has 9 calories per gram ! butter is worse
Love this video! Making the case to bump peas up for their protein content, since no other veggie on this list contributes signicantly, and peas are a superior form of veggie protein that are easy to incorporate in recipes.
@@Alan-71351 Yea but people have different preferences on what they like to eat. I'm still not sure why you're objecting to the idea of reconsidering peas for their high protein. Nobody is claiming it's the best food on the list, or that you need to eat 200g of protein a day. Just that peas should perhaps be ranked higher for their protein, the same way avocados are ranked high for their healthy fats compared to other fruits.
love all these list. been trying to get all my family and friends to eat healthier these last two years and this channel is the perfect go to. Thanks for your hard work!
I've seen a lot of tier list videos over a lot of topics. This one definitely had the most emotional investment. If you were to sell this in a laminated fridge friendly format, maybe with fun facts or reference charts on the back, I'd buy.
My go to vegetables are broccoli and spinach. It's nice to see that they're doing a great job in your list too. I'm also pleased that I don't like any of the D tier vegetables and rarely consume C tier produce. However, I'm surprised that cauliflower didn't do better.
@@irgendeinname9256 Now that you've mentioned it: you're totally right! Zucchini were shamefully neglected. They are an absolute top tier candidate too imo.
I wanna say this about watercress: when I buy the stuff at Publix, that nutritional content list on the back looks like the back of a multivitamin bottle. It is absolutely insane. I have never seen anything like that. I'll post a cut/paste of it if I get a chance. Edit: here it is Calcium 70mg 6% Copper 0.1mg 10% Iron 1.1mg 6% Magnesium 30mg 8% Manganese 0.5mg 20% Niacin 0.9mg 6% Pantothenic Acid 0.2mg 4% Phosphorus 70mg 6% Potassium 520mg 11% Riboflavin 0.2mg 15% Selenium 1mcg 0% Thiamin 0.1mg 8% Vitamin A 5879IU 650% Vitamin B6 0.2mg 10% Vitamin C 59mg 70% Vitamin E 0.6IU 4% Vitamin K 461mcg 380% Zinc 0.2mg 0%
Favorite vegetable is probably onions. I feel like it’s gonna be D tier, but it adds so much palatability to other foods that it’s in reality probably an A tier vegetable in the context of a meal.
Broccoli, carrot, kale, and spinach were already among my regulars (as are cucumber, romaine, and dill pickle). My main takeaways from this are that I need to eat more garlic, give collard and mustard greens a try, and give arugula and watercress a try as well. As it is, I switched from iceberg as my main lettuce for salads to romaine almost entirely because iceberg would spoil in days if not hours of purchase, while romaine can hold up for weeks in the fridge and can be chopped up for a salad far in advance as well with minimal loss of texture. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who dislikes the taste of brussel sprouts. I buy, cook, and eat them regardless just because of their nutrition density.
My sister baked them. She took the leaves off and laid them all in the cookie sheet. I think she used salt and pepper. They were crispy and yummy, like eating a chip.
@@KWolf-129 I've tried them roasted a couple times and don't like them. Frying them in a hot iron skillet with butter and fresh garlic though, that's growing on me. They're still just a vegetable which I eat because they're nutrient dense and high in fiber, even though I don't like the taste.
This video is genious, also because I bet many of us return to come check where our current dinnerplate falls. Here I am, again checking how the zucchini/courgette and some others lie. Lol
0:20 There is no such thing as a "botanical definition of a vegetable". The term fruit can be defined botanically but vegetable is meaningful only in a culinary context.
I really appreciate that you talk about how some vegetables might affect somebody with IBS since I know someone with IBS and it is very useful information.
LOL at the brussel sprout mention! Interestingly, it was my favorite vegetable as a kid. I am of the crowd that you can eat almost any food as long as you cook it in a way you can enjoy. For example, if you boil vegetables all the time to cook them, no wonder you never like some of them. That's just so... boring. Cooking things in different ways is a must if you want to enjoy a more thorough palate.
I'll have you know Brussel sprouts are the most versatile veggie because you can cook it in every way (grill, blanch, broil, glaze, saute, braise, etc) and slut it up to make it taste like any savory, sweet or sour thing you want. S tier
Brussel sprouts are delicious when they are fresh and not overcooked! Look for ones with a slight purple tint to the top and stay away from any with yellowing leaves.
Mustard greens are also really great for adding a mustard taste to your salad without any dressing, which is usually the culprit for turning an otherwise healthy salad into something less healthy
Simply not true. You can make your own dressing very easily with an egg yolk and EV olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a bit of good mustard without shitty ingredients or mustard powder. Hell, you can even add a tablespoon of greek yogurt in there if you wanted to. Absolutely nothing wrong with any of those ingredients. Any excuse not to make that is just pure laziness. It won't even take you 2 minutes
my go-to combo being roasted broccoli and garlic being a power duo? nice. Also brussel sprouts are so good!! especially roasted with some garlic and balsamic glaze
Great list, I am glad you took in some interesting vegetables, like parsnip and water chestnut! Things that are missing in my opinion: - black salsify (quite uncommon, but eaten in winter in Europe) - yellow beet root - chickpea - BEANS(!!!) - Fermented variations of food (e.g. kale, Sauerkraut, etc.)
Do you mind sharing your final tier char as a downloaded PDF for viewers to keep on file? I'd like to be able to refer back to your rankings when I shop at the grocery store. Thank you!
The fact that this kind of information isn't readily available and required for all human kind is criminal. We live in a world where we can analyze the individual, anatomical structures of our food, the benefits and risks that that food has on our bodies, yet we don't allow it to be taught at a fundamental level. It's downright depressing...
I’d love a video about vitamin absorption - I’ve struggled with iron levels and while researching foods was surprised and confused about how many veg considered high in iron don’t absorb well, or how certain food combos or preparation methods help or hinder absorption. It really becomes like alchemy to try and understand the right combination to make a reliable “iron healthy” meal for example.
Freeze dried grass-fed liver pills is a good source of all vitamins, including iron. It's better than trying to get it from harsh iron pills that your body hates, or trying to get it from vegetables. Maybe try the one Ancestral Supplements has? You can shoot them an email to about your symptoms and they can help you figure out what can help!
Hey my friend the women in my family all struggle to get proper iron levels through vegetables alone, after seeing nutritionists they found out that red meats seem to work the best, as it’s easier for their bodies to extract the iron from the haemoglobin and myoglobin that is present throughout the meat. I’m not sure about your vegan/vegetarian status, but I hope this could help.
Theres a thing called Kohlrabi in Germany. Apparently translates to stem cabbage or cabbage turnip As the name suggests it's a mixture between a cabbage (tastewise) and a turnip (texture wise) you can eat it raw, put it in the oven, cook it with some white sauce its amazing maybe you can find it somwhere - it's worht a try
i'm in western canada, and see this frequently in chain grocery stores, so it must be spreading! i haven't tried it yet. I'm not a big fan of cabbage or turnip so likely won't ;)

Brussels sprouts were put through a period of genetic selection. As in, there was an effort to minimize the genetics that contributed to the bitterness. While cooking, usually by roasting, helps reduce bitterness and became more popular, genetics contributed largely as well.
I must be one of few people in the world who loves brussels! From this list I can't stand sweet potatoes (it is way too sweet for me) and eggplant mainly because if its hard skin and it is almost tasteless.
Palate, sry
Recipe?
Yeah I get flashbacks to my grandma's crappy boiled brussels sprouts. But roasted they are lit.
Very well sorted. I like how you made sure to point out the special features of seemingly low-ranking items.
My metastatic cancer is currently in remission. I'm excited about using your list to improve my choices and hopefully prolong the quality and duration of my life. My sister needs me, we love one another, and I want to stick around to be here for her. Thank you!!
Good luck! You can make it!
May you have many happy and healthy years!
Hope everything is going well with you, hope we hear from you soon.
I’m cheering for you!
Kick it in the butt!
Dude this is the most brutal way of shoving pure information over a long period of time directly into my face I have ever whitenessed here on TH-cam and I somehow dig it hard ^^
I think it works because a) it is indexed well and b) breaking it into a reductive tier list helps you digest the overwhelming torrent of details.
Brussels Sprouts have actually been improved significantly in flavor in the last 20 years or so.
They bred a certain chemical that has a bitter taste out of it.
So if you haven't tried them in a long time, give them another shot.
I stayed away from Brussels sprouts for the longest time due to its bad rep, but after finally trying it, it’s sooo good, especially when roasted!! One of my fave vegetables
@@augela put a little honey and soy sauce in the pan ;) you`re welcome
When I was a kid every time there were Brussels sprouts on the menu at the school canteen, I ended up throwing up 😢. I was a good kid, so everytime I would try but I could never get over that nasty taste that made me nauseous.
(Hopefully for me my parents never cooked them at home).
Maybe I should give it a try again and try to a nice recipe🤔
@@DeemonitaI am a Brussel sprouts hater, but that sounds good!
@@leila_de_hautjardin like my original comment said, modern Brussels sprouts are chemically different now, they were hybrid to specifically remove the bitter taste that many people objected to.
So you should definitely try them again. Roasting is good because that triggers the development of sugars, and the sweetness definitely helps. It's easy to do, you just cut them in half, and put them in the oven on a sheet with some oil, cut side down, for 15 minutes or so (maybe longer, I can't remember).
Thank you so so much for taking the time to put a time stamp on each vegetable it’ll make it so much easier to find what I want to show my friends and fam, so again, thanks!

Good shit bro
Good luck on your journey mate! Hope you get to the point where you are absolutely addicted to fitness, cause there is no better feeling!
I would recommend the book Atomic Habits, really changed my outlook on myself, and it has helped me greatly with eating way healthier
Your videos are awesome for picky eaters like me who are trying to improve their diet and didn't learn much about a healthy diet as a kid. I thought all vegetables were equally beneficial before this video, and I feel more educated now. Even got some I plan to try!
Try getting Dr Berg's vegetable shake. It tastes like chocolate! Or you could try his cruciferous greens. You could also find a freeze dried grass fed liver pill: better than synthetic multis and is the healthiest thing there is, has all the vitamins you need. Is great for your body in many ways (have to start with low dose so you don't go into healing stage tho.)
For me, it’s finding food and recipes that allow you to take vegetables in a more approachable form. For me, it’s the sandwich/ wrap. You can do soooo much with just a Philly cheesesteak- onions, mushrooms, garlic, peppers, etc. soups and stews are also great though make stock from scratch or use low sodium for healthier soups. Herbs instead of salt/ sugar also adds a lot of flavor with nutrients. Rosemary is my favorite. I hope this helps, vegetables are really delicious if you find the way that you like them
@@danielcurren2119 Philly cheesesteak doesn't work for me. I hate mushrooms and onions. And trust me I've eaten them thousands of times, mostly by accident. But I still don't like it.

Registered dietitian here! LOVE your videos. It’s so refreshing to see good nutrition advice on the internet 😂 keep it up! I would love to see tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and squash varieties in a future video
@@fjp709 I said tomato because he was including “culinary” vegetables
he included some of those in his fruit ranking video but defiantly agreed!
@@robjohn6943 What's unhealthy here is the deviding of food into "good" and "bad". Everything can be beneficial at some point if consumed moderatly. Considering the fact that vegetables are mostly carbs, denying their benefits and great health advantages JUST because they're carbs just goes to show how much disordered your statement is. Anyway, with that being said please don't take this the wrong way, all in good faith🫶🏼
@@robjohn6943 Must you bring your food politics into everything? Most people eat both plant and animal matter. So lists like this can help them pick a good balance. Listen to the pros and cons, of each food brought up on this list, and then plan your diet accordingly. Also, tehre is no one perfect meal plan. Everyone will have different needs. This is why we listen to actual dietitians and not randos on the internet.
@@robjohn6943 When I talk about food politics, I am talking about the Keto vs Vegan nonsense you randomly brought up. Not to mention when you lied about vegetables. There are countless clinical trials showing health benefits of adding vegetables to your meal.
In addition there are plenty of epidemiological studies showing strong health benefits of diets heavy on vegetables, like the Mediterranean. There is a reason vegetable heavy diets keep dominating the top spots for best diets.
Do a herb/spice antioxidant list. Obviously Sumac and Cloves are going to be the most potent antioxidants humans can get, but am still curious about all the other ones.
Good idea
Omg yes please
Yes give spices
It is not so obvious since you forgot Amla
@@kadajnoir7369 Amla, aka Indian Gooseberry is a fruit my friend. not a herb/spice, but I agree! Amla is there at the top of fruits with potent antioxidants.

Turmeric is very anti-inflammatory however it impedes the absorption of iron :(

I would recommend getting The Victory Garden Cookbook by Morash. It has always been my go-to Bible for vegetable cooking. The lemon-butter sauce is amazing on broccoli and cauliflower.❤
I am a broccoli main, so I expect at least A tier. My builds usually include chilis, eggplants, and legumes, but broccoli itself is so diverse and also acts as a sub-build to cruciferous vegetables that it's incredibly easy to use it in a flex slot.
Top tier wording
Dang I love this.
im a broc main too
Broc and carrot main, was pleasantly surprised to see them on top. I need to get some XP with some of the other top tier vegs as well. Didn't know mustard greens were even a thing

Honestly, I didn't know how much I needed to watch this video. Learned a lot, and the way it's all being presented is pristine. Simple, very informative, and just a joy to watch.
This was JUST what I needed. No problems scratching my head at the grocery store anymore wondering which vegetables to rather take and if my vitamins requirements will be met. Thanks a lot!
Eats vegetables, your vitamins will be met. Don't need a list for this, especially tinking eatin only broccoli is the way to go. Eggplants are very healthy too, you better eat vegetabkes you like in high quantitythan looking at a list
@@tm.8399 yes! also diversity is good so switch it up for a balanced nutrient profile
Eating a raw carrot while hearing this list in the background. Get rid of all your unhealthy snacks and grab yourself a good raw peeled carrot! This was life-changing advice for me!
I love that someone took the time to make this tier list with this much details
📌Nutrition Tier List SUGGESTIONS: common prepared/fermented/non-pasteurized/pickled foods: yoghurts (Greek, plain, fruited, etc.), kefir, traditional fermented (onions, tomatoes, beans, brusselsprouts, mushrooms, peppers, carrots…), hummus, cheeses, kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, kombucha, breads (like sourdough), poi, etc.
"Brussel Sprouts are disgusting will go straight to the F tier"
I actually LOL'd at that 😂
Same, I had some with dinner right before this and howled! I hated them all my life but, I guess this is what it's like to grow up.
I was mad and yelled, “No they’re NOT disgusting!” 😊
I remember not liking them, but then I had some grilled in a vegetable mix and I loved it.
My mom hates them so I never had them until some fancy restaurant I went to for a work thing. I loved them pan fried with salt and rosemary in olive oil. When I teased my mom and made them for her she was surprised that she found them "edible" seems she had only had them boiled plain.

Broccoli is my go-to side veggie when I cook. When seasoned and cooked well it’s honestly pretty tasty, and I feel even better now about eating/liking it after you explained just how nutrient-dense they are 👍
Tbh, I do not get the common hate towards brocolli, like I really enjoy the flavour.
Now that it actually is really nutricious makes it even better
I always steam broccoli and have it alongside salmon filets
Oven roasted or air fried coated in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, finished with a squeeze of lemon and zest. Is my favorite way to cook broccoli. It works great with frozen broccoli, too. I used to only used fresh for this preparation. Until I watched someone use frozen and I think it tastes even better if you use frozen broccoli. Urban Accents citrus pepper seasoning blend works great in place of the garlic powder. I love that stuff on cauliflower and chicken, too.
Broccoli goes insane with anything creamy or cheesy. Herbs de Provence and pepper is my go to spice but a little nutmeg and turmeric also work great
Cooked well means nutrition cooked out.
I love Garlic. I plan to grow it, dry it, and powder it. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in almost all my basic cooking. You do not eat a lot of it, but, it is nice to know that something so amazingly flavorful is actually so positively good for us.
I just eat it raw ._.
I love it too and use it often. Glad to find it's top tier.
I love garlic. it's already growing in my garden since 1 month
It is very easy to grow. When we moved to our retirement home I found that the garlic was 5 dollars each. That was over 5 years ago. Costs more now.
Plant in the fall and cover very well with leaves, hay, etc. Put boards or tarps over it. Take off in the spring. You will see the garlic popping up. Remove the curly part when the show up a month or so later. These can be eaten.
I put a lot of my garlic in the food processor with cold pressed oil. Mix. Put into ice cube trays. Then intl a container for the freezer. Very easy to use.
@@Lewisking50 Ah, a fellow vampire hunter.
I consider you one of the TH-cam nutrition experts one of the few I follow. I am an expert in functional nutrition with 20 years of study and I already know about 90% of what you say and that confirms that the other last 10% I should learn.
I looked around trying to find out if he's actually a credentialed expert but couldn't find anything. Where are you seeing his educational credentials?
As an avid forager I often simply go out into my yard and pluck common "weeds" to make soups, salads and cooked greens. I think it would be interesting to see a nutritional breakdown list of such plants as Dandelion, plantain, wild garlic, clover, cat's ear, chickory, purslane, lamb's quarters etc. All of which are quite common, easy to identify, typically abundant and best of all free. Of course, I already know that several I have listed are considered quite healthy but greater detail of all their properties as you present in your lists would be icing on the cake.
A bunch of indigestible cellulose most likely
What are you a rabbit?
Um... plantain??
Nettle is God tier! But probably A because it's stingy... lol
@Aly Baly As opposed to the purposely embedded carcinogens. Bless your little heart ❤️
I would love if you could do a nutritional tier list with different cooking oils/fats i.e. butter, olive oil, coconut, peanut, etc.
The best by far is olive oil, second avocado oil. Everything else is subpar.
@Adam V.
@MrBolaextra
Actually there's a lot of misconceptions out there about what the "healthiest cooking oil" is.
Look up the video "Top 10 cooking oils" by Dr. Sten Ekberg on TH-cam. He's very smart and really does a good job making you understand the good, bad, and ugly when it comes to cooking oils.
I'm sure many of these rankings will come as a shock to you, it surely was surprising to me. But I urge you to watch the video, as it's quite a good one and should help you understand fats better than ever before.
1. Ghee
2. Butter
3. Coconut Oil
4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5. Beef Tallow
6. Lard
7. Avocado Oil
8. Safflower Oil
9. Canola Oil
10. Soybean Oil
11. Flaxseed Oil
He groups lard as 5a and Beef Tallow as 5b, but once you understand the concepts he's saying, and look at the numbers for saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats, you can actually see that Beef Tallow is very slightly better than lard. Plus it has a slightly higher smoke point which is an extra plus. Hence why I changed them to 5 and 6, and everything else below them got bumped down one spot.
@@MrBolaextra ^^^
@@MrBolaextra Macadamia has a fairly similar fat profile as olive, but without the olive flavor. It's a good choice for cooking things like syrniki or winter squash.
@@MrBolaextra what about mustard oil ? I have read contradictory information on the internet.
Assuming we are going to get a mushroom list at some point since we lost them off this list, so we need grains, spices, herbs & dairy. Maybe a popular snacks one like crisps (chips), chocolate & sweets (candy) but let’s be honest we will probably only need F tier for that one lol
Chocolate would be higher than F tier as long as it's not white or milk chocolate. Dark chocolate actually has some good health benefits provided you eat it in moderation.
@@chriswhinery925 ye that’s true, a little bit of the good quality dark choc is actually good for depression & anxiety I hear, I was thinking more of your standard chocolate bars like Mars, Cadbury etc delicious but not good for you lol
@@chriswhinery925 It might even be as high as C tier on a general list.
Dairy also only needs the F tier
There can be distinction even between "junk" or snack foods. Like for example, candy doesn't offer anything nutritionally other than sugar, but pies can have real fruit in them which provides some micronutrients, ice cream brings the nutritional benefits of dairy, etc.
This is honestly one of the best videos on TH-cam. Certainly the most helpful and I appreciate you for putting the work in. Thank you.
watching this and wishing i found you and this channel when my family elders were still alive. i lost 2 of the most influential people in my life, my mom and my aunt, to health related issues (cancer and heart failure). i cant help it feel like knowing this and actually putting to use what i learned here could of made a massive difference. anyways thank you so much for you videos and all your hard work. i'm 100% sure they've drastically reduced hospital trips and saved lives without you ever even knowing who or when.
It's very hard to change other people's habits, so don't be too sad about it.
I've been in a vegan diet for 5 years now and still get nutrition doubts, this video really clarified things! Thank you so much for it!
Try some meat. You’ll doubt your health and diet less and be more balanced
One thing to consider about potatoes, is that there are hundreds of different varieties, so I wonder how much difference in nutrient profiles there is between them. Most people eat the standard white, yellow, or red from the store, but even within those broad categories there is a lot of potential variety.
I get purple sweet potatoes from the Asian market and they are very nutritious.
Purple has the most nutrients
Yess Japanese sweet potatoes are seriously superior sweet 🍠
You could say basically the same thing about most things on this list. There's tons of different varieties that you can't find in grocery stores for pretty much any vegetable
@@Merusclaws sweet potatoes and potatoes are a completely different species

See FODMAP for help finding safe and unsafe foods. I do diet just till outbreak is settled. Then add no go food one by one till I find an allergin. So far my tummy is way happier without cabbage, apple, tomato innerds/seeds, raw onions, raw garlic.

You should do a tier list of salads, would be an interesting twist to look at how certain combinations of foods cover the bases
also comparing calories!! some salads, especially in restaurants, are NOT the healthy choice on the menu. There's apparently one at cheesecake factory that's almost 2000 calories

Why is genetically modified a problem for vegetables?
(It’s not)
It's not, if a wild vegetable is growing on a less nutrients soil vs a genetic modified (selective bred) vegetables growing on more nutrients soil. Then I'd pick the 2nd option.
@@comprehensive6952 It probably safe to assume they opposite is more likely though no. GMOs may allow you to grow on less nutritious soil.
@@edan513 GMOs thrive better on less nutritious soil yes I think we can all agree on that but if both gmos and non gmos grow on a very rich soil then I wouldn't have a problem eating them both since they are both comparably good.
Also GMO doesn't necessarily mean grown in the labs, they are selective bred for bigger portions, more resistant to pests and sometimes to be less toxic like wild cucumbers (non-Gmo) that are actually more toxic than the (Gmo) regular cucumbers.
its not

Nobody is claiming it's the best food on the list, or that you need to eat 200g of protein a day. Just that peas should perhaps be ranked higher for their protein, the same way avocados are ranked high for their healthy fats compared to other fruits.
A carrot is simply a cheat code among vegetables. I replaced my sweets with carrot, it helped me to reduce sugar consumption so much.

I've seen a lot of tier list videos over a lot of topics. This one definitely had the most emotional investment.
If you were to sell this in a laminated fridge friendly format, maybe with fun facts or reference charts on the back, I'd buy.
My go to vegetables are broccoli and spinach. It's nice to see that they're doing a great job in your list too.
I'm also pleased that I don't like any of the D tier vegetables and rarely consume C tier produce. However, I'm surprised that cauliflower didn't do better.
Surprised as to cauliflower ranking as well.

Favorite vegetable is probably onions. I feel like it’s gonna be D tier, but it adds so much palatability to other foods that it’s in reality probably an A tier vegetable in the context of a meal.
Should be s tier since onions absorb impurities meaning they are a cure for sicknesses like the flu
onions saved my marriage
@@sonice9020 I imagine it'll save mine someday too
I personally don’t like onions when raw but cooked and mixed with garlic it adds so much flavor.
Broccoli, carrot, kale, and spinach were already among my regulars (as are cucumber, romaine, and dill pickle). My main takeaways from this are that I need to eat more garlic, give collard and mustard greens a try, and give arugula and watercress a try as well.
As it is, I switched from iceberg as my main lettuce for salads to romaine almost entirely because iceberg would spoil in days if not hours of purchase, while romaine can hold up for weeks in the fridge and can be chopped up for a salad far in advance as well with minimal loss of texture.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who dislikes the taste of brussel sprouts. I buy, cook, and eat them regardless just because of their nutrition density.
My sister baked them. She took the leaves off and laid them all in the cookie sheet. I think she used salt and pepper. They were crispy and yummy, like eating a chip.
I was about to say the same thing! Roasted Brussels sprouts are incredible, highly recommend, way better than just boiling or steaming them
@@KWolf-129 I've tried them roasted a couple times and don't like them. Frying them in a hot iron skillet with butter and fresh garlic though, that's growing on me.
They're still just a vegetable which I eat because they're nutrient dense and high in fiber, even though I don't like the taste.
This video is genious, also because I bet many of us return to come check where our current dinnerplate falls. Here I am, again checking how the zucchini/courgette and some others lie. Lol
Aaaand its not here HAHAHA
0:20 There is no such thing as a "botanical definition of a vegetable". The term fruit can be defined botanically but vegetable is meaningful only in a culinary context.

I really appreciate that you talk about how some vegetables might affect somebody with IBS since I know someone with IBS and it is very useful information.
i love this kind of content
even without much planning it can easily make you realize some weakness in your current diet
Sweet, he updated the tier list for the latest patch
LOL at the brussel sprout mention! Interestingly, it was my favorite vegetable as a kid. I am of the crowd that you can eat almost any food as long as you cook it in a way you can enjoy. For example, if you boil vegetables all the time to cook them, no wonder you never like some of them. That's just so... boring. Cooking things in different ways is a must if you want to enjoy a more thorough palate.
I'll have you know Brussel sprouts are the most versatile veggie because you can cook it in every way (grill, blanch, broil, glaze, saute, braise, etc) and slut it up to make it taste like any savory, sweet or sour thing you want. S tier
Organic vegetables really need more awareness, and I appreciate you highlighting that
Brussel sprouts are delicious when they are fresh and not overcooked! Look for ones with a slight purple tint to the top and stay away from any with yellowing leaves.
Mustard greens are also really great for adding a mustard taste to your salad without any dressing, which is usually the culprit for turning an otherwise healthy salad into something less healthy
Simply not true. You can make your own dressing very easily with an egg yolk and EV olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a bit of good mustard without shitty ingredients or mustard powder. Hell, you can even add a tablespoon of greek yogurt in there if you wanted to. Absolutely nothing wrong with any of those ingredients. Any excuse not to make that is just pure laziness. It won't even take you 2 minutes
@DustyFC most people are lazy. The person you're responding to said "usually". I know reading comprehension is hard.
I would like to thank you for making the Nutrition Tier List videos. It helps me to plan out meals with the ingredients in mind!
During the last 100 years, scientists were always looking for vitamins. However, they decided to skip F, G, H, I and J to create vitamin K ale
I had higher hopes for celery. Still, good to see carrots rocking the top tier. Another one of my go to veg.

My go-to vegetables are nightshades and aromatics tossed together with canned tuna, wrapped in raw greens. I'd like to see you cover organ meats.
Canned tuna or any fish is polluted with heavy metals. Avoid.
The fact that this kind of information isn't readily available and required for all human kind is criminal. We live in a world where we can analyze the individual, anatomical structures of our food, the benefits and risks that that food has on our bodies, yet we don't allow it to be taught at a fundamental level. It's downright depressing...
I’d love a video about vitamin absorption - I’ve struggled with iron levels and while researching foods was surprised and confused about how many veg considered high in iron don’t absorb well, or how certain food combos or preparation methods help or hinder absorption. It really becomes like alchemy to try and understand the right combination to make a reliable “iron healthy” meal for example.
Indeed! Its like we only get parts of the information with no idea on how to make something useful with it.
Eat red meat and cook it in cast iron, problem solved
Freeze dried grass-fed liver pills is a good source of all vitamins, including iron. It's better than trying to get it from harsh iron pills that your body hates, or trying to get it from vegetables. Maybe try the one Ancestral Supplements has? You can shoot them an email to about your symptoms and they can help you figure out what can help!
Hey my friend the women in my family all struggle to get proper iron levels through vegetables alone, after seeing nutritionists they found out that red meats seem to work the best, as it’s easier for their bodies to extract the iron from the haemoglobin and myoglobin that is present throughout the meat.
I’m not sure about your vegan/vegetarian status, but I hope this could help.
Vitamin c helps a lot with iron absorption, and calcium, zinc, and magnesium are competing with it
Broccoli is one of my favourite foods, so I'm very happy to see how high it ranked
Theres a thing called Kohlrabi in Germany. Apparently translates to stem cabbage or cabbage turnip
As the name suggests it's a mixture between a cabbage (tastewise) and a turnip (texture wise)
you can eat it raw, put it in the oven, cook it with some white sauce
its amazing
maybe you can find it somwhere - it's worht a try
Omg we planted some last year and they are amazinggggg. I love this veggie so much
If you cook it a certain way, it comes out like a potato too which is crazy
Publix sells them sometimes
i'm in western canada, and see this frequently in chain grocery stores, so it must be spreading! i haven't tried it yet. I'm not a big fan of cabbage or turnip so likely won't ;)
@@jlt131 Just give it a try. if you dont like it, give it to your rabbits - just make sure the Kohlrabi is plump though!
