Boiled greens are a simple, nutritious dish commonly found in Southern, African, and Mediterranean cuisines. They are typically made from leafy vegetables like collard greens, kale, spinach, mustard greens, or turnip greens, simmered in water or broth with optional seasonings such as garlic, onion, or spices for added flavor. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like iron and calcium, boiled greens are a fantastic addition to any diet. Their fiber content supports digestion, while antioxidants promote overall wellness. Often naturally low in calories and fat, they can be a heart-healthy side dish when prepared without excessive salt, butter, or bacon fat, which are traditional but heavier additions in some recipes. Versatile and adaptable, boiled greens are a flavorful way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of leafy vegetables while embracing culinary traditions from around the globe.
