About Greens

Greens, a staple in cuisines worldwide, refer to leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, collard greens, and arugula. Originating from various regions, including the Mediterranean, Africa, and Asia, greens are celebrated for their versatility and robust nutritional profile. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, greens also offer essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium. They are rich in antioxidants and fiber, promoting heart health, digestion, and immune support. Low in calories, they're ideal for weight management and are often featured in salads, sautés, smoothies, and soups. However, certain greens, like spinach, contain oxalates, which may impact calcium absorption for some individuals when consumed in excess. Greens are a powerhouse of nutrients and a cornerstone of healthy eating, adaptable to countless dishes and dietary needs.
