Avocados can be easily grown using avocado seeds or pit. Carefully cut an avocado and remove the pit. Wash it and plant the seed in fertile, well-drained soil. Use a large container for container planting.
3. Broccoli
All cruciferous veggies, such as cauliflower, cabbage, and kale contain cancer-fighting properties, says Health.com. Broccoli is probably the most popular American vegetable that is full of nutrition, natural goodness, and also makes for a great dinner. A compound called sulforaphane found in broccoli boosts the body’s protective enzymes and flushes out cancer. Broccoli helps fight several types of cancer including skin, breast, bladder, prostate, liver, lung, and stomach.
