GREENS THAT BOOST NUTRITION

Have you heard of arugula? It is a green, leafy vegetable that contains more nutrients than iceberg lettuce, such as beta-carotene and vitamin C. It also has about nine times more calcium. When making salads at home, consider choosing a variety of leafy greens, such as arugula, romaine and chicory. Using these greens in salads and on sandwiches creates a more nutritious meal. Always wash produce before eating.
