More than just fancy #lettuce<\/a>, these #greens<\/a> are refreshing, filling, extraordinarily low in calories, and provide much-needed nutrients. Here are a few \u201cgreen\u201d #health<\/a> and purchasing tips from some top foodies to use on your next trip to the supermarket or farmers\u2019 market.<\/div>\n

#Arugula<\/a>\u00a0 also known as Rocket\u00a0<\/b><\/u>
\nAppearance<\/strong>: Narrow, lobed green leaves about 3 inches long or longer<\/p>\n

Taste<\/strong>: Aromatic, peppery.<\/p>\n

Health Perks:<\/strong> It\u2019s a source of vitamin C (5 percent of daily values) and folate. And it\u2019s also packed with vitamin K (10.9 micrograms). Some recent studies suggest that the combination of calcium, vitamin D and K is better for bone health than calcium alone or calcium plus vitamin D. Vitamin K helps bone actually hold onto the calcium it has.<\/p>\n

Arugula has about 32 milligrams (3 percent of daily values) of calcium and a decent supply of magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. It also has significant quantities of beta carotene (for healthy skin and eyes), lutein and zeaxanthin (for healthy eyes). \u00a0Like all leafy greens, it is linked to a reduced risk for cancer when eaten as part of a healthy diet.<\/p>\n

Nutrition Stats<\/strong>: 1 cup: 5 calories, 0.13 g fat, 0.73 g carbs, 0.3 g fiber, 0.52 g protein, 32 mg calcium, 3 mg vitamin C, 475 IU vitamin A.<\/p>\n

Use<\/strong>: \u201cBest used in a mix of baby #salad<\/a> greens but can stand alone as the basis for a salad. Delicious with sliced fresh pears and goat cheese,\u201d says nutritionist Maria Walls, R.D.<\/p>\n

Purchasing<\/strong>: Available early spring through summer. Look for young, tender leaves. \u201cOlder leaves are shorter and tougher with a more peppery taste,\u201d says Walls.<\/p>\n

Storage<\/strong>: Wash thoroughly. \u201cIt grows in sandy soil, so it needs to be rinsed well in cool water. Dry on paper towels, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator crisper. Use within two days,\u201d Walls adds.<\/p>\n

#Romaine<\/a>\u00a0 also known as Cos\u00a0<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Appearance<\/strong>: Sturdy, coarse leaves with a large rib down the center. Leaves range in color from dark green on the outside to a light green at the inner core.
\nTaste: Mild, with a crisp texture. Outer, darker green leaves tend to have a stronger, more bitter taste.<\/p>\n

Health Perks<\/strong>: It\u2019s rich in vitamin K, vitamin A (55 percent of daily values\u00a0 wow), beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, folate, manganese, potassium and fiber. In fact, romaine lettuce is quite the health food. \u201cThe American Institute for Cancer Research lists it as one of the foods that helps fight cancer due to its antioxidant capabilities,\u201d says Walls.<\/p>\n

Nutrition Stats:<\/strong> 1 cup shredded: 8 calories, 0 g fat, 0.52g carbs, 1g fiber, 0.58 g protein, 16 mg calcium, 11.3 mg vitamin C, 2,729 IU vitamin A.
\nUse: Most often used as the standard lettuce in Caesar salad. Also delicious in a salad with apples and walnuts.<\/p>\n

Purchasing<\/strong>: Available year-round. \u201cAvoid heads with signs of rust or very dark green leaves with milky stems, which are signs of older lettuce,\u201d says Walls.<\/p>\n

Storage<\/strong>: Store unwashed whole heads in plastic bags to retain crispness. Keep away from fruits that produce ethylene such as apples. Use within five to seven days.<\/p>\n

#Radicchio<\/a>\u00a0 also known as Italian chicory\u00a0<\/b><\/u>
\nAppearance<\/strong>: Comes in small, round, cabbage-like heads. \u201cRadicchio is a leafy vegetable. The more common variety has red leaves with white veins, but it can also be white or green speckled with red. Leaves vary depending on type, from rounder leaves resembling butterhead lettuce to a more elongated type that resembles Belgian endive,\u201d says Walls.<\/p>\n

Taste<\/strong>: Tends to have a mildly bitter taste that mellows when cooked.
\nHealth Perks: Contains potassium and folate. Reportedly has high levels of antioxidant activity similar to other dark-colored fruits and vegetables such as blueberries and strawberries, which helps reduce damage from free radicals.<\/p>\n

Nutrition Stats<\/strong>: 1 cup shredded: 9 calories, 0 g fat, 1.79 g carbs, 0.4 g fiber, 0.57 g protein, 8 mg calcium, 5 mg magnesium, 16 mg phosphorous, 121 mg potassium, 24 mcg folate, 102 mcg vitamin K.<\/p>\n

Use<\/strong>: Primarily in salads in the United States. In Italy, where it originates, it\u2019s also grilled with olive oil or cooked in risotto and pasta.<\/p>\n

Purchasing<\/strong>: Available year-round but at its best in spring<\/p>\n

Storage<\/strong>: Keep in a cool, dry environment separate from other vegetables that tend to be moist. Best stored between 34 and 36 degrees.<\/p>\n

#Mache<\/a> also called Corn Salad and Lamb\u2019s Lettuce\u00a0<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Appearance<\/strong>: Narrow, dark green, flat, almost spoon-like leaves that broaden at the top. The leaves form clusters (often referred to as rosettes) at soil level.<\/p>\n

Taste<\/strong>: Has a tender texture and a mild, delicate taste that can become bitter as the leaves age. Some varieties can have a hazelnut-likeflavor.<\/p>\n

Health Perks:<\/strong> According to Susan Moores, M.S., R.D., a Saint Paul, Minnesota, nutritionist, mache is said to have \u201cstimulant, diuretic and laxative effects\u201d and is an excellent source of vitamin A and C, iron, folic acid and zinc. Additionally, it\u2019s known for its potassium and B6 content. Overall, mache has many benefits for blood pressure, heart health, brain health and the immune system. A 3-ounce serving contains 12 percent of daily values for omega-3 fatty acid, which is vital for circulatory health and a proven way to reduce the risk of heart attack.
\nNutrition Stats: 1 cup: 20 calories, 0 g fat, 3.3 g carbs, 1.3 g fiber, 1.3 g protein, 66 mg calcium, 2.4 mg iron, 47.5 mg vitamin C, 1,650 IU vitamin A, 363 mg potassium.<\/p>\n

Use<\/strong>: In salads, used alone or in combination with other tender leaf lettuces. \u201cPartnering with flavors that are too strong masks or overpowers its subtle nature. Like spinach, it can be eaten cooked or raw. Great in omelets, soups, grain and potato salads,\u201d says Moores.<\/p>\n

Purchasing<\/strong>: Pick bunches of leaves that look crisp and glossy with an even green color.<\/p>\n

Storage<\/strong>: Wash, drain and dry. Store wrapped in paper towels in an airtight plastic bag. It has a short shelf life. Wilted leaves and age cause bitterness. Use within one to two days.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Platkin, PhD, JD, MPH\"},\"description\":\"Dr. Charles Platkin is the founder and Executive Director of the Center For Food As Medicine & Longevity (FoodMedCenter.org), a not-for-profit organization working to bridge the gap between traditional allopathic medicine and the use of food as medicine in the prevention, treatment, and management of disease. The Center conducts extensive research on longevity and healthspan, exploring how nutrition and lifestyle interventions can extend both lifespan and the number of years lived in good health. Core to its work is the dissemination of reliable, peer-reviewed information on nutrition, longevity science, and healthy aging, as well as ensuring universal access to healthy, affordable food, and creating a more equitable, smart food system that will improve health outcomes. A distinguished scholar and influential figure in the fields of public health, nutrition, and food policy, Dr. Platkin is a Distinguished Lecturer (Emeritus) at City University of New York at Hunter College. He has both a Masters Degree and a Ph.D. in Public Health, specializing in nutrition. He also has a law degree, and throughout his career has been dedicated to a multidisciplinary approach to academic research, community health interventions and complex health and policy issues, encompassing law, public health, and nutrition. Dr. Platkin has occupied influential roles in public health, notably serving as the Executive Director of the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center from 2012 to 2023. During this time, he played a pivotal role in shaping food-related policies in New York City. His entrepreneurial leadership extends across multiple sectors: he is the co-founder and strategic advisor to Diversion Books (DiversionBooks.com), a book publishing company; Chief Strategy Officer at PopCom Health (PopComHealth.com); founder and managing director of Magoo Properties (MagooProperties.com); and co-founder and director of MedicalBx (MedicalBx.com), which develops boutique hospitals and mobile medical clinics to enhance healthcare access in underserved areas. His leadership also extended to co-founding and operating organizations like Integrated Wellness Solutions, where he leveraged innovative approaches and technology to enhance health and wellness. He is a powerful advocate for healthier communities and for shaping the field of nutrition and food policy in lasting ways. Dr. Platkin has made significant contributions to the field of public health and nutrition issues through his research. He has published in several peer-reviewed scientific and medical journals, including the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, the Journal of Obesity and Weight Loss, the International Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics, BioMed Central (BMC) Obesity; and the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. He is the author of eight books. His forthcoming book, Eat to Cheat Death: Using Food as Medicine to Live Better, Live Stronger, Live Healthier, and Live Longer (Simon & Schuster, 2027), synthesizes cutting-edge research on nutrition and longevity. His first book, Breaking the Pattern (Red Mill Press 2002, Plume 2004), was a bestseller in hardcover; it has been used by addiction clinics to assist patients with resolving drug and alcohol-related issues, and more than 20 universities around the country use it as a text to teach behavioral change techniques to nutrition and dietetic counseling interns. His other titles include The Diet Detective's Count Down (Simon and Schuster, 2007), The Diet Detective's Calorie Bargain Bible (Simon and Schuster, 2008), The Diet Detective's Diet Starter Kit (Diversion, 2011), and The Diet Detective's All-American Diet (Rodale, 2012). Charles Platkin's contributions to the fields of health, nutrition, and public policy have earned him recognition and numerous accolades. He was cited by the New York State Governor for his contributions to the development of nutrition materials for NYS Mentoring in March 2019, showcasing his dedication to public health and education. He was also honored as a Politics of Food honoree by City & State in November 2018 for his commitment to promoting healthy eating and food policy reform. Additionally, Dr. Platkin's success as a principal investigator and grant recipient reflects his impact in the field, as he has secured multiple grants to support research and initiatives related to food policy and nutrition. Beyond his academic and research pursuits, Charles Platkin has engaged with the public through various media outlets.

The Center conducts extensive research on longevity and healthspan, exploring how nutrition and lifestyle interventions can extend both lifespan and the number of years lived in good health.
