Our Greens Can Kick Your Greens Ass!
Vlita AKA Amaranth Greens have been a big part of Greek food even though we don't see much of them here in many parts of the States.
Now that Vlita have been shown to be healthier than Kale I hope we see it more and more in Greek restaurants.
I like mine cold with olive oil and lemon with crumbled feta on top.
Just a few things Vlita has beaten Kale out of.
Vitamin K 404% more
Calcium 8% more
Folate 14% more
Manganese 5% more
Magnesium 6% more
Iron 4% more
