1. Mushrooms
1. 菇类

Why we love them:
我们为什么爱菇类：

Mushrooms provide a burst of flavor without adding many calories. A number of varieties have antiviral, immunity-bosting and anti-inflammatory properities. Certain kinds, like shiitake, may lower cholesterol and fight cancer. They’re also rich in selenium. This antioxidant protects against heart disease, aging and some cancers and is often found in meat, making mushrooms a good pick for vegetarians.
菇类口感丰富还不会增加太多的卡路里。许多菇类品种甚至有抗病毒，增强免疫系统以及消炎的功效。某些品种比如香菇，就有降低胆固醇和抗癌的功效，它们还富含硒。这种抗氧化剂能有效防止心脏病、年龄老化以及某些癌症，对于素食主义者来说，菇类是个好选择。

如何食用：

One of the easiest ways to enjoy is in a salad raw, orsauté in a little olive oil and garlic. You get a little extra kick and still retain the nutrients. You can also try chopping the mushrooms, stir frying them and serving on top of toasts as a take on bruschetta.
最简单的办法就是吃色拉，或者是加一点橄榄油和大蒜，增加点调味同时不破坏其中的影响成分。你还可以把菇类捣碎，用大火快炒，然后放一点在蒜蓉烤面包上食用。

2. Bok Choy
2. 白菜

Why we love them:
我们为什么爱白菜：

While its relative, cabbage, made our October list, bok choy, which hits peak season in winter months, carries many of the same benefits. It's a good source of vitamin K, which plays a role in healthy bones, and research shows a connection between vitamin K and possibly some kind of benefit with Alzheimer's.
白菜的相似品种卷心菜上了我们十月的榜单，而白菜则在冬季达到了顶峰时期，它有着丰富的营养。白菜富含维他命K，对我们的骨骼有益。同时有研究表明维他命K和治疗老年痴呆症或许有点联系。

How to enjoy them:
如何享用：

The simplest way is just steamed or stir fried. And be careful not to overcook it, which can sap both nutrients and flavor from the leafy green.
最简单的就是清蒸或大火炒。但切忌过度烹饪，这会破坏绿叶中的营养和口味。
