GMOs.

saut�ed or steam them if you can for maximum goodness. But none of those which are

An update
All food consumed should now be organic and water should be filtered extensively. This
has never been more important. I strongly advise installing a whole house water
filter if you don't already have one fitted. Here is a link to a tried and trusted company:
Levels of pollutants, pesticides, heavy metals and a cocktail of other contaminents,
including GMOs are becoming the norm worldwide. So very special care and attention
should be taken when buying all food and water. This situation will only get worse
before it gets better unfortunately, as the genie has been let out of the bottle.
