Yellow and orange vegetables which are high in vitamin A. A few decade back doctors used to recommend these vegetables for measles. These vegetables were also known to fight against the disease effectively.

Knotweed, astragalus, teasle, and dandelion – some green leafy vegetables which we now refer as a weed.
