Notes: If you haven't tried fresh mustard greens, here's a recipe to acquaint you with them. In it the greens are tossed into soup during the last minute of cooking, adding flavor and color as well as nutrients.
Mustard greens look like kale, but they're more delicately flavored, with a slight hint of (not surprisingly) mustard. Plus they contain as many or more nutrients than kale, including folate. The greens are at their best during Fall and early Winter. When shopping, look for bright green leaves that show no signs of wilting or yellowing. Note: if you can't find mustard greens, use fresh kale.
"Takes very little time and is awesome! Regina
