LETTUCE appears to be the most popular salad green, cleansing, blood-building, cancer-fighting and helps regulate bowel function, according to Simone Gabbay, R.N.C.P., a nutritionist in Toronto. The deeper the color, the more nutrition it offers.
ARUGULA, is aromatic, and adds a mild nutty flavor to salads. It is highly alkaline-forming, and counteracts acidic conditions in the body, supplying calcium, magnesium, potassium and manganese, and important B complex vitamins.
DANDELION, contains a powerful pack of minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium as well as vitamins B, C, and E. It may be slightly bitter in taste, and has a tonic effect on the spleen, pancreas, liver and gallbladder with a healing and nourishing effect upon the entire body.
WATERCRESS has a pungent flavor, rich in chlorophyll, vitamin C and minerals, and helps prevent anemia, arthritis and cancer. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports it protects DNA damage in blood cells, protecting against the development of cancer.
PARSLEY, one of the most valuable medicinal foods supports the thyroid and adrenals, and contains anti-carcinogenic properties.
SPINACH is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and bioflavonoids, anticarcinogenic, protects nerve cells, helps the body cope with stress, and helps soothe nervous conditions.
The anti-stress drugs prescribed for anxiety may no longer be required if some of these wonderful greens were consumed on a daily basis.
