Chinese cabbage is rich in carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements. The content of zinc in Chinese cabbage is not only among the highest in vegetables, but also in meat and eggs.

Third: big tomato and small tomato. Small tomato is also called virgin fruit. Many people mistakenly think that virgin fruit is a genetically modified food. But in fact, this kind of small tomato is the most primitive variety of tomato. Big tomato is bred by people for the sake of fruit size. In China, there is a saying that "concentration is the essence", and so does small tomatoes. Because the proportion of the center part of the small tomato is lower than that of the large tomato, so it will be more sufficient to contact with sunlight, and the skin and flesh of the small tomato are connected more closely than those of the large tomato, which can provide more dietary fiber.
