Leafy green veggies

[Astrid]

I'm a little confused about what leafy green vegetables really are. The ones I hear about are spinach, chard, kale and asian green vegetables like bok choy and gai larn. But what about salad and lettuce types like arugula, frisée, romain and iceberg? Do these also have a lot of calcium and iron?

Except for iceberg, I think they all have good amounts of nutrients.

iceburg is gd for hydrating but generally the darker the leafy green the better .

spinach
pak/bok choi
kale
cabbage
romaine lettuce
chard

all good!

Another good one I think is parsley - people tend to treat it as a garnish but if you have a reasonable quantity, like in tabbouleh (yum!) I believe it has valuable amounts of calcium in it.

parsley also has a lot of iron.

astrid, anything that looks like leaves and are dark green in color have good nutrition!

Alright, I think I've got it figured out now. :)

Brussels sprouts are also leafy greens, they are little cabbages really. I keep some in the freezer. They are very high in vitamin K. They make a tasty soup.
