vital.................../ minerals


Explanation:
I would change your sentence a little bit around, if I may.

Vegetables fulfill vital nutritional needs such has that of minerals (or mineral salts, depending on the country and the type of document)

As to "complementaire" : I would need the context for it could be "suplementary" or " self-balancing".
