Leafy Vegetables

Leafy vegetables are good sources of dietary fiber, vitamins (A, C, and B-complex), and minerals (especially calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus). Dark green leaves are generally more nutritious than lighter green or yellow leaves. Some leafy vegetables contain anti-nutritive substances such as oxalic acid, nitrates, glycosides of hydrocyanic acid, and alkaloids and must be boiled to eliminate or reduce them. Many are perennial, producing food with minimal investment of labor.
