Food, food, food :)

What is the least nutritious vegetable?

Iceberg lettuce is considered at least one of the lowest, followed by celery and cucumber.
*I can't believe celery is in this list!

A kilogram of cucumber has merely 130 calories and hardly any minerals and vitamin C. Moreover, it has 96.3% water content.

Top 5 best fruits: kiwi, blueberries, strawberries, guava, cranberries.
