About Leafy greens

Leafy greens are a diverse group of vegetables that include spinach, kale, lettuce, arugula, collards, and Swiss chard. Celebrated across global cuisines, they feature prominently in everything from Mediterranean salads to Asian stir-fries. Packed with essential nutrients, leafy greens are a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. They are also high in fiber, aiding digestion and supporting heart health, while their antioxidants combat inflammation and promote cellular repair. Low in calories but rich in nutrients, leafy greens are an excellent choice for weight management and overall wellness. However, individuals on blood-thinning medications should monitor their intake of vitamin K-rich greens, as this nutrient can interfere with certain prescriptions. Versatile and nutrient-dense, leafy greens are a cornerstone of balanced diets worldwide, offering robust health benefits and endless culinary possibilities.
