It’s not always easy to eat or get people to eat green vegetables…
Green vegetables are either make or break. There are those who judge only by themselves, and need their daily dose of greenery, and their detractors, for whom the simple sight of spinach causes an attack of hives! However, green leafy vegetables are perfect foods with a very high nutritional density for getting and staying in shape.
Reserves in calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamins A, C, group B, K, but also in folic acid, beta-carotene and antioxidants…. all while being very low in calories, here is the full CV of this category of vegetables. With their nutrients that are easy to assimilate and digest, they are a good idea to include in our daily menus.
The big family of green vegetables
The green vegetable family is very large and diverse. Between leafy vegetables such as spinach, chard, celery or leek; the different kinds of beans (greens, broad beans, peas, snow peas); the salads ; the courgette ; green asparagus; or even cabbage (kale, Brussels, head, or broccoli), there is something for everyone. And above all all the preparations. Indeed, depending on the variety, we can choose a cooked or raw preparation to adapt to the season, and to our desires (rather raw in salad in the summer, or cooked in winter for a comforting and satisfying dish) .
