@michael This classification system on essential micronutrients is super cool, so it is no surprise that vegetables in the cruciferous family would score the highest. The very small problem with using this classification method is it does not include other important compounds such as mercaptans, which are organosulfur compounds found in garlic and onion, and have potent anti-oxidant and chelating properties. Based on this data, onions and garlic are not at the top, when in fact they are very important to include in the diet. Other than that, awesome!
