Spring is here and we can have all the chlorophyll we want !
Fresh nettles ( for free ), wild herbs from the fields ( also for free ). If you have some extra strength and willpower ( you actually get it from the greens ) there is watercress in the streams to collect. Great rucola is starting to arrive in the Organic markets.
All leafy greens are nutritional winners. Spinach ( only organic, otherwise leave it behind ), Kale and more. I actually have learned to use the greens from fresh carrots in the salad. Dark greens are a good source of vitamin C and betacarotene. A good solution, for keeping cancer and heart disease away from your home. And more iron , potassium and calcium.
Here is a Green Smoothie by Frederic Patenaude and his book, "Instant Raw Sensations" and best-selling e-book "The Raw Secrets".
I will pick up the ingredients this afternoon and make myself a drink for Cocktail hours.
