Green vegetables (and vegetables in general) should be part of everyone’s diet, as often as possible. But what are green vegetables and why are they so important, after all?
Let’s start with the beginning.
Green vegetables are vegetables that have… a green color, right? But they’re so much more than that. Green vegetables are not only leafy veggies such as spinach or kale; there are numerous others on the list. Here are some of the most common ones:
- asparagus
- cucumber
- broccoli
- zucchini
- green beans
- celery
- cabbage
- green chilies
- green lettuce
- artichoke
- leek
- peas
- spinach
- kale
- Brussels sprouts
- watercress
- beet greens
- arugula
- collard greens
- microgreens
And the list could go on, but these are the most common green vegetables that you can find at your local supermarket or grocery store on a daily basis.
Green vegetables are full of nutritional and health benefits. They’re rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as well. For example, spinach is rich in folate, which helps promote red blood cell production. Lettuce is full of vitamins such as K and A, broccoli is rich in fiber and folate and can help prevent diabetes and edamame is rich in protein and vitamin C. The health benefits change depending on which green vegetable we’re talking about, but all of them have one thing in common: they’re super healthy and they are known to reduce the risk of numerous diseases such as obesity, diseases related to mental decline, heart diseases and more.
You know what they say… eat the rainbow! Well, when it comes to ‘green’, all the veggies I mentioned in the list above are great contendants.
Another great advantage of green vegetables is that they’re so varied, they can easily be incorporated into numerous recipes. Just think about lettuce in a salad – that’s the most logical ingredient to start a good salad with, right? Or let’s think about a filling stew – you can throw in just about any vegetable you have in your fridge or pantry, so might as well add a little bit of green as well.
