Dark green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach are good sources of
vitamin C. Carrots, squash and sweet potatoes are good sources of carotene, which the
body changes to Vitamin A. Dark green leafy vegetables also supply us with iron. All
vegetables are good for us because they supply us with important vitamins and minerals
that build cells and keep us healthy. Vitamin C, for example, helps to build strong teeth
and helps us to resist infections. Vitamin A helps us to keep skin healthy and protects
our eyes. Iron, also an important part of vegetables, builds red blood cells. Without
enough iron, we would suffer from an illness called anemia.
