There is a reason why people say green vegetables are healthy – it’s because they are. Greens like spinach, kale, broccoli or Swiss chard are excellent sources of iron, magnesium and vitamins A, C and K, among other amazing benefits. And the darker a green vegetable is, the healthier it is for you, meaning foods like spinach and kale will always be better for you than lighter greens like lettuce or celery. Unfortunately for many of us, the bitter flavor of darker greens can be off-putting. But we found a ton of recipes you can make with green veggies that add other flavors so you get a healthy meal you’ll really enjoy.
