Greens are not fruit or vegetables... they're in a class of their own. Hence, for those who are concerned about food combining... don't worry!
Leafy greens are the only food that help to digest whatever food they are eaten with and greens help stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes, and they are indispensable for helping alkalize the body, which is so very important.
For those of us who are vegan... greens are our major source of protein and calcium, and according to Victoria Butenko's research we need to eat 800g of these healthful leaves every day which is 2 of those huge pillow packs of lettuce mix. However, eating one type a day is best for digestion, while making each day a different variety will give you the range of nutrients needed.
I have found a wonderful source of organically grown vegetables and greens in the PE area... such exciting types of lettuce like Radicchio and Romaine that I have only read about and never seen, and 5 other varieties of lettuce!!! That means a different variety every day of the week. There is also Rocket, Coriander and spinach in the form of Chard and Baby leaf.
These are a great compliment to the wonderful Eco-certified organic citrus from Addo. The Clementines and Navel's are over but Valencias are in and make wonderful jugfuls of juice.
Weekly orders will be taken for collection on a Friday!
