About Spring greens

Spring greens are a nutritious leafy vegetable, commonly associated with European cuisine, particularly in UK dishes. These tender young leaves of cabbage plants are harvested early in the season before the heads fully form, offering a delicate texture and mildly sweet flavor. Packed with essential nutrients, spring greens are an excellent source of vitamins C and K, folate, and dietary fiber, supporting immune health, bone strength, and digestion. Low in calories and fat, they make a versatile addition to salads, stir-fries, and soups. Their high antioxidant content aids in combating oxidative stress, contributing to overall well-being. However, individuals on blood-thinning medication might need to monitor their intake of Vitamin K-rich foods like spring greens. Fresh, lightly cooked, or steamed preparation methods help retain their nutritional value, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a healthy and flavorful ingredient to enhance their meals.
