10. Alfalfa Sprouts

Technically part of the legume family, alfalfa spouts are usually eaten in sandwiches or salads or consumed in powdered form. While quite an unusual choice, alfalfa sprouts have a lot to offer as they are high in flavonoids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Though research is limited, there’s evidence to suggest that isoflavones in particular could be helpful in treating menopausal symptoms and may have a cancer-protective effect.
