About Mustard green

Mustard greens are nutrient-dense leafy vegetables hailing from the Brassica family, widely used in Southern U.S., African, Indian, and Asian cuisines. Known for their spicy, peppery flavor, they're a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, providing powerful antioxidants that support immune health, bone strength, and vision. High in fiber and low in calories, mustard greens aid digestion and promote heart health by helping to regulate cholesterol levels. They also contain minerals like calcium, potassium, and manganese. Mustard greens are celebrated for their anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties due to compounds like glucosinolates, which may help combat oxidative stress. Though generally healthy, people on blood-thinning medications should moderate consumption due to their high vitamin K content. Enjoy mustard greens steamed, sautéed, or added to soups and stews for a nutrient-packed meal.
