Boosts immunity: Mustard seedlings

Each tiny leaf is packed full of vitamin C, a nutrient that’s most famous for its immunity-strengthening benefits and can also lower high blood pressure, as well as glucosinolates, antioxidants that can decrease cancer risk by 23%. Even better, the green’s flavor is as outsized as its health perks, says Burke: “Mustard seedlings have some heat to them, so they’re best used in salads. They’ll add a nice zip even without a heavy dressing, but the other greens will temper the heat a little.”
