Napa cabbage is very beautiful, all those long, pale leaves with ruffled edges.
Actually I love asparagus.
Popeye was right about spinach: dark green, leafy vegetables are the healthiest food on the planet. As whole foods go, they offer the most nutrition per calorie.
Raw leafy greens contain only about 100 calories per pound and are packed with nutrients.
Swiss chard is undervalued in Britain. It's a great substitute for spinach and keeps its shape well.
Bananas are the base of all my smoothies! They are packed with potassium and give a solid base flavor.
Whole eggs are practically a perfect food.
Broccoli gets such a bad rap. This is perplexing to those of us who love that green, treelike, stalky vegetable.
Dried fruit is a huge part of my diet. Mango, persimmon, banana.
One of my favorite salads is spinach with pickled strawberries.
Beetroot is a great salad ingredient, especially when still warm; the colour ain't bad, either.
