11. Broccoli

Greatist

Say what you will about broccoli, but this cruciferous vegetable is actually both nutritious and delicious. Just one half cup of cooked broccoli contains just 27 calories, but 3 grams of digestible carbs and other vital nutrients such as magnesium and vitamin C. It is also known to help people manage their blood sugar levels. One study found that eating broccoli sprouts reduced blood glucose in those with diabetes. Most probably, this is due to sulforaphane, a chemical found in cruciferous veggies such as broccoli and other sprouts.
