The healthiest green veggies

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.
