Incorporating leafy greens to your diet can introduce more nutrients, vitamins and minerals than ever before.
“I’ll have the house salad,” said all of us to the lunchtime server, at some point in our lives—often, in an effort to try a healthier alternative to the olive burger or club sandwich. And, while a bowl of iceberg lettuce may be a conscious move away from beef, buns and beautiful bacon—there is a plethora of healthier greens and leafy veggies to try in place of that crunchy iceberg lettuce. After all, if you’ve pledged to eat produce, you may as well spring for sprouts that offer more nutrients and less sugar than iceberg lettuce. That’s why we designed this month’s edition of Veggie Tales to teach you how to make that salad count, with healthier leafy greens grown in Michigan to try in your salad bowl.
