They are awesome. As a cash-poor graduate student, I love buying these. They are usually cheap compared to other vegetables, and you can get a whole lot of them at one time. I usually pick up at least one bunch a week, and I just go by which type looks best at the time. Mustard, turnip, and kale are the ones I tend to eat the most...but now that it's springtime, I'm also out gathering young dandelions from my backyard! I like 'em simple - chopped and sauteed/steamed with garlic and red pepper flakes, and then served with salt and cider vinegar. Delish. MMMMmmm, greens! They are awesome.

I love my greens. I have a salad with spinach or some type of dark green/green-red lettuce daily. And then I also have cooked greens of some other sort at least once or twice a week, usually kale, though sometimes collards, and typically some spinach anytime I make eggs for a meal. Nutritionally, there's just nothing better than adding some greens...lots of vitamins, very little in the way of carbs. I have several types of sea vegetables in my pantry. I just forget to use them very often. I need to be more diligent about that. Cheers Scott Kustes Modern Forager Great stuff. I love my greens.

Tempeh, kale, onions, garlic and ginger. That's all you need. Kale in stirfry is one of the best things going. Tempeh, kale, onions, garlic and ginger. That’s all you need.
