5. Beet Greens
The leaves of beets are highly nutritious! Yet many people chop them off, not realizing their nutritional significance. The leaves have more antioxidants than the roots themselves, explains Jo Robinson in Eating on the Wild Side.
6. Watercress
A great source of folate and vitamin K, watercress has a subtle peppery taste and is an excellent addition to salads and soups. To store, fill a glass jar with water; place the stem ends of the herbs into the water in the container. Loosely cover the jar of watercress with a bag and store at room temperature.
