Brussels sprouts, 1,000%!
I'd also say a really nice charcuterie plate, figs, baby corn, tofu, spinach artichoke dip, ceviche, scallops and homemade Thanksgiving stuffing😊💚

I'll add sauerkraut, too!

Beetroots in general
Cabbage - just the boring white variety.
Goats cheese
Herbs - all of them (except sage)
Pears
Rhubarb
Elderberries
Capers
Carrots
Gooseberries - whatever happened to them! Not seen them for sale in eons! Little jewels of flavour!

Ricotta. I’ve been eating a lot of it on English muffins lately, and I even have a ricotta cookie recipe.

Potato chips. Nutritionally speaking, they're awesome for potassium.

I’ll second Brussels Sprouts / they need more love.

Also - figs!
Herring is a staple in my house since birth. Guess I’m just used to it.

Amen to the goat cheese. Don't get people who hate on it!

And sodium. Essential.

Brussel sprouts! One of my favorite vegetables. And not underrated per se, but potatoes get a bad rep. They're really not as a calorie dense as one might think. They're actually super nutritious and low calorie, IMO.

yes to Brussels! All in how you prepare them. Overcooked they are mushy and gross, yes. But grilled? Superb. Or cooked in a sheet pan with some bacon fat? THE BEST! Ughhh. And same for potatoes! Really, even frozen french fries, etc. aren't too caloric. I think its just the whole starch/carb/GI thing.

Not really a "food" per se, but a highly underrated food COMBO is lemon + dark chocolate.

Agreed! Ricotta + some cocoa powder, stevia and fresh raspberries is a great dessert! Also: english muffins are underrated in general... I prefer them over bagels.
