I want people to be as excited about leafy green vegetables as they are about wine. Some of us shudder at the memory of being force fed spinach by our mothers, but we know now that she had good intentions. Leafy green vegetables are the healthiest things we can eat! Rich in Vitamins K, C, and most of the Bs, eating leafy greens every day helps improve brain function, eye sight, and bone strength. So why do some of us still have a hard time eating our greens?
