leafy greens you eat - Fritz - 01-30-2022
what (common) greens will you eat and not eat?
cooked or raw.
I'll go for any except frisée, escarole, or radicchio/chicory.
Spouse the same, plus only cooked spinach.
Although normally cooked, I'll eat kale and b rabe raw.

I love raw frisée, radicchio, and endive! I am not much for Swiss chard because it can be stringy. Bok choi, Choi sum, and Chinese broccoli (all cooked) are some of my favorites. Raw Napa cabbage is a staple. Kale is good either way. I use a lot of cabbage, but savoy is preferable to regular green. I am not wild about red cabbage for some reason.
Spinach is fine cooked or raw, but I’d rather have something with more character.

forgot about swiss chard and cabbages.
not for me. Though spouse makes a good cooked cabbage with fennel seed ... I think.
I love bok choi, raw or cooked.

I have gotten to love collard greens, but cooked in an unhealthy way. I like spinach and kale and regular cabbage.

Pretty much all of them except kale.
I used to eat kale even though I found it very bitter, because it was supposedly nutritious.
And then it turned out that the whole thing was marketing. It's not especially nutritious.
It contains lots of useful nutrients, but in such minuscule quantities when compared to a stalk of broccoli or a spinach leaf that its original use as a decorative garnish is the ideal. All it's really good for is fiber, which is readily accessible in tastier veggies.
