    The Best Leafy Greens That Aren’t Kale

    Articles

    In recent years, kale has gotten so much hype for being the “it” vegetable. People throw it into everything from smoothies, salads, soups and stews. I happen to be one of those people who love kale and use it often in my cooking. However as a dietitian, I’m also aware of the variety of other leafy greens that often get overlooked and are just as great when it comes to flavor and nutrition. On your next trip to the market, look out for these seven tasty leafy greens!

    Chard

    Incredibly flexible in the kitchen, chard is a leafy green that can be enjoyed raw in salads, or cooked in everything from omelets, soups and stews. Younger versus large leaves are better raw since they’re not as bitter. You may recognize chard for its colorful stems, which can vary from white, yellow and red. Stems can be finely chopped and cooked as well for added crunch and nutrition in recipes! This leafy green is high in vitamins A, C and K and is a good source of magnesium, copper and manganese. You can store unwashed leaves in plastic bags in the crisper of your refrigerator for up to three days for optimal quality.
