Sauteed Greens with Potatoes and Rosemary
Greens are out to give you stiff competition, nutrition-wise.
Their list of credits is getting longer, and already includes the following:
* Vitamin A as carotene. Greens provide plenty - on the order of 50 to 100 percent of the recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) per cup.
* Vitamin C. The carotene in greens comes with this cousin antioxidant - with levels varying from one-third to three quarters of the RDA.
* Fiber. Greens are great for fiber, too, with 2 to 5 grams per cup.
* Low calorie count. How many foods give you so much nutrition for 50 or fewer calories per serving?
* Low fat content. With so few calories, greens obviously can't pack in any fat to speak of.
And some greens - those of collards, mustard, turnips, and kale - boast still another distinction.
They belong to the cabbage family of vegetables now in the cancer-prevention spotlight.
The bottom line, obviously, is that greens are winners.
They are perfect for helping to lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, lose weight, and control diabetes.
