I try to incorporate leafy greens into our meals at least once a day. Dark leafy greens are especially high in vitamins and minerals. Most people will experience a boost in physical energy when dark leafy greens are consumed regularly; my family loves them! Some greens that I like to use are Collard Greens, Turnip Greens, Beet Greens, Mustard, Arugula, Watercress, Cilantro, Mint, Basil, Bok Choy Greens, Kale, Swiss Chard, Escarole, Yo Choy Sum (Similar to Bok Choy), and Spinach.
Greens are especially known for their high chlorophyll, a wonderful nutrient for keeping the body full of health and vitality. To allow for maximum absorption of chlorophyll, it is important to keep the cooking time under 5 minutes, because overcooking will turn them brown and reduce their chlorophyll levels. The thicker the leaves, the longer the cooking time.
Some people will start adding greens to their diet after they have had some health scare! Eat them now! Use the following videos as basic guidelines on how to cook mouthwatering greens at home:
