Thanks for spending the time and putting in the effort to do this...the veggies (and fruits in the other thread) speak for themselves! :)

[Bowwowmeow]

Thanks! Its fairly basic info for now, feel free to add stuff. I like having things like this here as a resource for people who have questions about different foods.

[Rainbow]

Great work BWM! Although there are one or two veggies here I've not even heard of :book:

[paul]

wow thanks BWM, for all that, therse acouple of fruit and veg i havent heard of, what is this Tomatoes you talk about:D :wigglebutt:

[dreamer]

I don't agree with everything on this site (as it is NOT veg*n), but it does have A LOT of good info on the nutritional content of many vegan foods:
http://www.whfoods.com/index.html

[If you put in a food like lentils in the search box, you can then go to the nutritional profile where it discusses the benefits in detail!]

[paul]

i had a quick look,loks like some good info, i like the sound of Fresh Figs with Orange, Ginger Sauce.

[Charmagne]
