Mustard Greens Delivery or Pickup

Mustard greens have several health benefits, whether consumed raw or cooked. They are high in fiber, folate, calcium, copper, manganese, and vitamins K and B6. Some studies have shown them to lower cholesterol, as they help the body rid itself of bile acid. Like many cruciferous vegetables, mustard greens are high in glucosinolates, which have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.

Mustard greens and collard greens can have similarities other than the name, but they are different. One major difference is that mustard greens are a herb, while collard greens are considered part of the cabbage family. Collard greens can grow up to two feet tall, are consumed only when fully grown, and have a milder flavor profile. Mustard greens can be consumed at every stage of the growth cycle and can commonly be grown as microgreens at home to be added into salads, sandwiches, wraps, or into a stir fry. Both plants are highly nutritious, like most other leafy greens, but offer different amounts of vitamins and nutrients.
