Nutrients in Vegetables: There is no single best to answer to this question. It depends on which vegetable and which nutrients you're talking about.

You will still absorb the nutrients from both. Enjoy!

It would be hard for a consumer to tell the quantity of beneficial probiotics in any type of yogurt.
