Magnesium is an essential mineral needed for basic human functions such as blood glucose control, blood pressure regulation, and nerve functioning.

Vegetables are, without question, the most nutrient dense food group and it is no surprise that they are also a great source of magnesium.

Vegetables high in magnesium include spinach, swiss chard, lima beans, acorn squash, artichokes, kale, peas, okra, sweet corn, and potatoes. The daily value (%DV) for magnesium is 420mg.
