Answer:
Vegetables contain many different minerals and vitamins essential for a healthy diet, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, carotenes, folates, and iron. They also contain complex carbohydrates which are the type that should make up the majority of carbs in the diet (as opposed to the simple carbs in white bread, potatoes and rice, for example). Vegetables are also good sources of important soluble fiber.
Each vegetable may differ from one another in the nutrient it contains, and how much. Only some contain any significant amount of protein.
