Mustard greens are leafy vegetables with a peppery, pungent flavor, commonly used in Southern, East Asian, and Indian cuisines. Originating from the Brassica family, they are closely related to kale, broccoli, and cabbage. Nutritionally, mustard greens are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, providing significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. They're also a good source of fiber, folate, and manganese, supporting digestive health and bone strength. Low in calories but packed with nutrients, they've gained popularity as a superfood for heart health and immune support. These greens also contain glucosinolates, compounds that may assist in detoxification and cancer prevention. While mustard greens are generally healthy, individuals prone to kidney stones or thyroid issues should consume them in moderation due to their oxalate and goitrogen content. Whether sautéed, steamed, or added to soups, mustard greens bring both flavor and nutrition to the plate.
