1. Spinach: Great source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate, iron, potassium, and calcium.

2. Sweet Potatoes: Loads of potassium, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fiber.

3. Collard greens: Superb source of beta-carotene, member of the cruciferous family of vegetables, known for their cancer prevention power, loads of vitamin C and folate, good source of calcium and fiber.

4. Carrots: Loads of beta-carotene, and fiber.

5. Sweet Red Pepper: A great source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fiber.

You can live off potatoes and milk/cheese, mostly, if you can occasionally get other veggies.

most nutritious is a subjective category. having the most nutrients/vitamins/minerals is more relevant, or how long you can live off of one type of veggie.
