Description
Dark green leafy vegetables (DGLVs) are an excellent source of nutrients including folate, zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin C and fiber.
Part of what makes DGLVs so super is their potential to reduce your risk of chronic illnesses including heart disease and type 2 diabetes (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source).
They also contain high levels of anti-inflammatory compounds known as carotenoids, which may protect against certain types of cancer (3Trusted Source).
Some well-known DGLVs include:
Kale
Swiss chard
Collard greens
Turnip greens
Spinach
Some DGLVs have a bitter taste and not everyone enjoys them plain. You can get creative by including them in your favorite soups, salads, smoothies, stir-fries and curries.
