Spring Time Leafy Greens "101" - VIDEO

Dark leafy greens are some of the most nutrient dense foods out there. Whenever you see the term "power food" these babies are always at the top of the list.  They are so rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants that they literally quench your body with nutrients. 

Adding just one cup to your daily diet can strengthen immunity, protect against cancer, assist in mental clarity, cleanse the cells and the lunges, and improve cardiovascular health (just to name a few)!!

This video offers a basic introduction to the variety of spring time leafy greens available and over in the food focus box I have a bunch of recipes using leafy greens so hopefully you'll feel inspired to give them a try if you're not already:).

Thanks for clearing that up. I'd always wondered what the difference was between greens.

I have only tried one or two of the greens that you mentioned. I will have to look for the other to try.
