5. Cranberries (iodine-rich)
One cup of cranberries can provide you with plenty of nutrients, including the vitally important iodine – about 400mg of it to that one cup, which is about the same that you would find in supplements over the counter. Cranberries are a great way to get your daily five, and you can use them in everything from marinades to sauces to roasts – what on earth is a traditional Thanksgiving dinner without the cranberries?
They also pair extremely well with sweet things – they are berries after all – and a cranberry reduction goes well with most types of cakes and even some savory things. Cranberries can also be dried and eaten as an on-the-go snack – but remember that cranberries are also a well-known diuretic, so avoid them if you know you won’t have time for a few bathroom breaks after eating the cranberries. (And never underestimate the diuretic effect, either! Just trust us.)
