Our body needs antioxidants, especially in times where we need to strengthen our immune system due to the risks of the novel coronavirus.

As a vegan, what are the fresh vegan foods you need that are rich in antioxidants?

Pecans

A hickory species commonly found in Northern Mexico and Southern US, pecans are a great source of antioxidants.

According to studies, there are 10.6 mmol of antioxidants per 3.5 ounces in one hundred grams of pecans. Also, pecans help increase the levels of antioxidants to our blood.

What meals can you prepare with pecans? Check out these recipes that we found: Gemma’s Bigger Bolder Baking’s Sugar-Free Vegan Pecan Pie Bars, Vegan Richa’s Oil-Free Vegan Candied Pecans, and Tasty’s Raw Pecan Tacos.

Strawberries

These red, luscious fruits are among the best sources of antioxidants in the world. Now only are this great-tasting, but also great for the health-conscious people like you.

The red color that the strawberry has is the reason why its rich with antioxidants. These antioxidants are called anthocyanins, and according to studies, anthocyanins reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in our body.

Here are some recipes where you can incorporate strawberries: Loving It Vegan’s Vegan Strawberry Shortcake, The Vegan 8’s Vegan Strawberry Cream Cheese, and Tesco Real Food’s Vegan Strawberry Ice Lollies.

Kale

Kale or leaf cabbage is a green or purple colored vegetable. This veggie is considered a member of the debated superfoods.

One of the reasons why it's called a superfood is due to its high antioxidant content. Just like strawberries, red kale has anthocyanins. Every 100 grams of kale provides 2.7 mmol of antioxidants per 3.5 ounces.

Prepare kale-based vegan food by following these recipes, Minimalist Baker’s Kale Chip Nachos, Healthy Happy Life’s Cheezy-Tahini Skillet Kale, and Yup, It’s Vegan’s Baked Kale Falafel.
