The healthiest green veggies

April 23, 2014  22:53

Most green veggies are less than 50 calories per cup and are packed with fiber and nutrients.  But if the old standbys like kale and spinach bore you, Frances Largeman-Roth, registered dietician says on Fox News Channel there are many others to try.

Watercress, a semiaquatic plant native to Europe and Asia, isn’t just for tea sandwiches.  Use it in soups and salads for a peppery bite.  Dandelion greens are also growing in popularity and go particularly well with egg dishes.

And Swiss chard is a hardy green that has a lot of vitamin A, C and K.

“They're super low in calories, and it's a tasty thing to add to, say, you're making a kind of rice dish,” Largeman-Roth said.
