GREENS
These weeds are edi-
ble and good for you
too. One cup has three
times as much calcium
a s spinach, plus a ton
of vitamin K, keeping
your bones strong.MUSTARD GREENS
Steaming is the way
to go with this collard
cousin, as heat signifi-
cantly increases
the available vitamin A.
And FYI: A squeeze
of lemon tames their
bitterness.Okay, we’re not actually
hating on ka le—hear t you,
OG supergreen!—but it’s
time for a little shake-up.
The sta lls at your farmers’
market are overflowing
with unique yet ignored
crops that are big on flavor
and health and can easily
become the best part of
every dish. Let’s go...
MÂCHE
Often, you’ll find
mâche in bagged let-
tuce mixes, so when
you see it sold on its
own, grab it. Add a
few handfuls to your
bowl for a solid dose
of vitamin C.RADISH GREENS
These have a bit of a
bite, so treat them like
an herb and incorpo-
rate into salsas,
soups, and pestos. Be
sure to use them
quickly, though, or
they’ll wilt.Head Case
Look for beets,
radishes, and
carrots with tops
attached so
you can use the
leaves!
