They say that tropical vegetables and fruits are the most nutritious food in the world because the sun shines directly on that part of the world. But that can be an overexpression, yet there is some truth in it because hundreds of antioxidant fruits and vegetables are grown and produced in tropical regions.
In fact, with the rich flora of the tropics, it is not an exaggeration to say that one could find every antidote and cure to every possible disease in the tropics. However, most of these cures are waiting to be discovered and tapped.

Now, experts zero in on one of the most common antioxidant vegetables, which basically cleanses the body from toxicity—the lowly jute—which grows anywhere like grass and thus is seldom given much importance as an antioxidant. Yet the potential effect of this grass-like vegetable is enormous.
It takes only one month to grow a jute plant into full bloom, and one can harvest its luscious leaves and boil those leaves. It has a very high content of antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and E. It helps in staving off diseases associated with the ageing process. Because of jute’s seemingly plain and unspectacular appearance, this excellent source of antioxidants is seldom mentioned among the most potent antioxidant fruits and vegetables.
