Today's offering is a nutrition quiz about vegetables. Below will be pictures of nutrition labels of various vegetables. See if you can guess what the vegetable is from reading the label. There will be a word bank below the labels of possible choices if you want help. Most of these labels are on cans, so the photos are skewed, but I think you can read the information you need to.
I figured out an interesting thing as I was putting this together. Interesting to me, anyway. Nutrition label requirements changed a few years ago. Of note is that the amounts of Vitamin A and Vitamin C are no longer required but can be added if the manufacturer wants to. However, Vitamin D is now required. Some of these vegetables are clearly good sources of Vitamin A and C, but that doesn't show up on the label. That may make guessing a bit more difficult, but go ahead and give it the old college try.
