When going raw, it's important to make sure you are getting alot of these in your diet. I'm learning, I can't simply eat what i like. Must add soome variety. Turnip greens ar epretty spicy, and have a bite, but they are green and leafy therefore a great source of Iron, wich is important when guarding against anemia.

  • Paw paw
  • kiwi
