Beet greens join the “dark, leafy” category with spinach, Swiss chard and kale. In addition to being a good source of protein, zinc and phosphorus, beet greens are also packed with fiber. High in vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium and copper, beet greens are a low-fat and low-cholesterol green that can shake up your regular veggie routine.*
Don’t toss beet greens away, incorporate them into your meal! Cook beet greens just as you would spinach or collard greens. Boil or steam them for a simple, yet healthy side dish.
