The Goods on Salad Greens!

When it comes to mixed salad greens, dark is best. Darker, looser leaf lettuce such as red leaf, mizuna, butterhead and arugula have more nutrients than their lighter, stiffer counterparts such as iceberg. These soft, leafy greens are also rich in calcium, folate and dietary fibre which helps lower cholesterol and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
