Leafy Greens 101

Whitney Fetterhoff, health reporter for leading national paper The Washington Post, covered a piece on getting to know the wonderful world of leafy greens from June's issue of Fitness Magazine. As one of the main nutrition experts who contributed to the article, I'm thrilled to see amazing leafy greens get more attention!

Fetterhoff writes, "If you don’t know escarole from collard greens, expand your salad repertoire with a guide to greens in Fitness magazine. Some of the benefits? Turnip greens are loaded with Vitamin K, according to Maggie Moon, a New York nutritionist, and one cup cooked fulfills 20 percent of your daily B6 requirement."

Fetterhoff also smartly talks up bok choy and its cancer-fighting antioxidants, how to make kale a tasty snack, and the benefits of eating Swiss chard and watercress. To read what else she found interesting or useful, check out the rest of her write-up at The Washington Post.
