Delicious cold sweetened greens.

Cook these young & tender "baby greens" with turnip greens -- it will make the greens sweeter. The outside leaves of a broccoli plant should never go to waste. My family likes to add them to a salad or cole slaw when they are available. To boil brocolli greens: wash & chop to your needs. Place the thickest pieces in the boiling water. Let the water come back to a boil & place the next thickest leaves in the pot. Continue. This produces an evenly cooked mess of greens for you and yours to enjoy. Broccoli was originally developed during Roman times in Italy, and was first planted in the USA by Thomas Jefferson (1767)in his Monticello gardens. Broccoli is a very nutritionous vegetable high in vitamin C, vitamin A, riboflavin, calcium, iron, and soluble fiber. It also contains multiple nutrients considered to have potent anti-cancer properties, including diindolylmethane and selenium.

Chayote may not be as popular as other vegetables, but it actually has a very good track record when it comes to its health benefits. For starters, chayote contains no cholesterol and unhealthy fats, and is usually recommended for controlling bad cholesterol levels and reducing weight.7 Furthermore, chayote is a rich source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, iron, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, potassium, copper and vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C. Another strong suit of this vegetable is its folate content, which is helpful for cell division and DNA synthesis. Pregnant women can benefit from folate as well, as it helps inhibit neural tube defects among babies. Chayote also has small amounts of aglycone flavonoid polyphonic antioxidants in apigenin and luteolin. These are crucial in helping combat free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body that both play a role in aging and cancer development.
