Green vegetables are nutrient-packed powerhouses common in cuisines worldwide. Known for their vibrant color and versatility, they include spinach, kale, broccoli, zucchini, and green beans. Rich in vitamins A, C, K, and folate, they support immune health, bone strength, and cellular repair. Their abundant fiber aids digestion, while their antioxidants combat inflammation and protect against chronic illnesses. Originating from diverse agricultural traditions, green vegetables feature prominently in Mediterranean, Asian, African, and American cuisines, adapting to soups, stir-fries, salads, and smoothies alike. Low in calories and high in nutrients, they are ideal for weight management and overall well-being. However, consuming raw greens like spinach or kale in excess may affect thyroid function due to natural compounds like oxalates. Moderate preparation, such as steaming or sautéing, can help balance nutrients and minimize concerns, maximizing their benefits while making them an essential part of a healthy diet.
