Leafy Greens

Leafy greens encompass a broad group of plants grown for their edible leaves, including spinach, rocket, chard, various lettuces, kale, pak choi and many more. They share a high content of water, dietary fibre, vitamins (especially K, C and folate) and minerals. In the kitchen they are served raw in salads, or cooked as a side dish, the base of soups, stuffings or blended into smoothies. Their quick preparation and lightness make them an ideal choice for a healthy everyday diet. Storing them in a cool, humid environment helps maintain their freshness for longer.
