7. Romaine Lettuce
This super versatile green is a fantastic source of antioxidants, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Romaine lettuce makes a good base for a salad any time of day. For the best nutritional gain, serve when it’s fresh and crisp.
8. Arugula
Another name for this leafy green is rocket. “It tends to be higher in antioxidants than most green lettuces,” writes Jo Robinson in her book Eating on the Wild Side. It’s best to place the greens in a micro-perforated bag and store in the crisper drawer of your fridge. Eat the greens raw for the most nutritional benefit.
