Nutritional properties
Known for their pungent and slightly bitter flavor, mustard greens are a very versatile vegetable. These leaves are a good source of nutrients and can offer various health benefits.
Mustard greens are a good source of vitamins C and K, and contain some vitamin A (via beta-carotene) and minerals such as calcium and potassium. They possess antioxidant properties and may contribute to heart health by potentially improving cholesterol levels. Research is underway to explore other potential health benefits, such as its impact on stress and cancer prevention.
