🌿 You'll hear the term “leafy greens” all the time, but what does that broad term encompass? There are actually six categories of leafy greens:
1. Cruciferous Greens - lots of options for these nutritional powerhouses: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, arugula, Brussels sprouts, collards 2. Taproot Greens - the leafy tops of root vegetables have lots to offer: Radish greens, carrot tops, beet greens, turnip greens, celeriac greens 3. Lettuce Greens - mostly eaten raw with lots of varieties available: Iceberg, romaine, butterhead, red leaf, Bibb, Boston, green leaf, oak 4. Chicory Family Greens - cousins to the lettuce varieties but more bitter and hearty: Endive, frisee, radicchio 5. Amaranth Family Greens - the same family as quinoa, but focused on just the greens: Spinach, Swiss chard, amaranth greens 6. Herb Greens - add a punch of flavor to any dish: Parsley, basil, oregano, cilantro, thyme, rosemary
