Why EAt Greens?

~Green plant foods balance your pH.

~Dark greens include omega-3 essential fatty acids

~Chlorophyl in green plants acts as a blood detoxifier.

~High in nutrients and enzymes: iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium and vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins

~Have beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which protect your cells from damage

~Greens are powerful antioxidants, and they support the immune system.

2. Oregano Marinade: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10923-oregano-marinade
A Word about Baby Garlic & Baby Leek:
I use the green, meaty end first by slicing, then sliding my knife out. This removes the tender inner part of the leek or garlic, leaving the tuff outer skin. I do this all the way up to the white part and I use that last.
