• Minerals: Rich in iron (important for energy and blood), magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
• Antioxidants: Packed with various antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin (beneficial for eye health), and flavonoids, which help protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation.
• Fiber: Contains dietary fiber, aiding digestion.
