What are Green Leafy Vegetables?
A number of vegetables fit into this category, from salad greens to broccoli. In common, the dark leafy greens share an assortment of nutrients – vitamins A, C, E, and K, folate, iron, and calcium. They are also a great source of fiber, and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Types of leafy green vegetables include watercress, arugula, dandelion greens, kale, spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, broccoli raab, bok choy, and swiss chard. Eaten on a regular basis, they have proven time and time again to have a dramatic impact on health.
