About Leaf vegetables
Leaf vegetables, often referred to as greens, are nutrient-packed edible plants primarily consumed for their tender leaves. Popular examples include spinach, kale, lettuce, swiss chard, and collard greens, which are integral to cuisines worldwide, from Mediterranean salads to Asian stir-fries. Rich in vitamins like A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, they contribute to strong bones, healthy vision, and boosted immunity. Leafy greens are also high in fiber, aiding digestion, while their low calorie count makes them ideal for weight management. Antioxidants in greens help combat inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. However, some varieties like spinach and beet greens contain oxalates, which may impact calcium absorption for certain individuals. Versatile and health-enhancing, these vegetables are a cornerstone of balanced diets and diverse culinary traditions.
