Green is good. Dark green is better. Organic dark leafy green is best. And here's the good news: Your diet can be delicious, nutritious, eco-friendly, and plant-based with much less effort than we're often led to believe. A great place to start is with the long list of dark leafy green vegetables. These nutritional powerhouses provide many vitamins (like A, C, and K) and minerals (like folate, iron and calcium) and are also great sources of dietary fiber and animal-free protein. In addition, research suggests that dark green vegetables may prevent certain types of cancers and promote heart health. Plus, dark leafy greens are relatively easy to grow and care for. Of course, you want to keep in mind all things local and organic when doing so.
