Winter isn't the season usually associated with fresh greens, but the truth is there are many tasty greens in peak season during the colder months. Called "cool weather greens" they include Swiss chard, kale, collards, beet tops, kale, turnip and mustard greens, to name a few.
Not only are these greens some of the best fresh vegetables available right now, they're also packed with good-for-you nutrients like Vitamin A, C, calcium, iron, potassium, folic acid and fiber. Plus, as long as they aren't drenched in butter or oil, greens are low in calories, too at just 25 calories per cup!
Unlike salad greens, these are best enjoyed lightly steamed. First, wash away any grit by dunking them in clean, cold water, then draining. Next, put the greens into a frying pan along with a few tablespoons of water over medium high heat and cook until wilted (watch closely, it happens fast). Shake up the flavor with some minced garlic, a splash of lemon juice, or perhaps a drizzle of Oyster Sauce (available in the Asian section of most grocery markets) which tames the bitter bite winter greens can sometimes have.
