Glorious Take leafy greens way beyond salads BY ROBIN ASBELL
T
he wide world of leafy green vegetables is one of delectable flavors and deeply nutritious meals. Leaves such as kale and spinach are some of the most nutrient-dense foods you can get. They are high in fiber, low calorie, and each variety of leafy green offers its own balance of nutrients. In general, most deliver much needed vitamins K, A and C, along with calcium and iron. They are also rich in antioxidants—but usually a bargain at the checkout. If you grew up eating steamed spinach as a side dish, or the occasional romaine salad, it may be time to expand your experience and try cooking with other greens including kale, collards and broccoli raab. We’re dishing up these delicious ideas. PHOTOGRAPHY TERRY BRENNAN
