How to properly cut & cook kale, collards, mustard greens, chard w/most nutrients?
I am confused on this.One site says one thing & the other tells you opposite.I read these greens are tough,hard to fully digest raw.And to get the potential nutrition these greens hold,they must be cooked or juiced.And they must be cut a certain way to get the most nutrients before cooking them.Some said before,after,before & after.Then I read your suppose to cover with lid,then another said not to.
Anyone really know the best way?Am I suppose to run cold water over them immediately after their done cooking?
Most recipes I seen are very fating & are overcooked(4+ hrs)
Here is something I cam up with that I would like to make together.
Kale,collard,mustard greens,turnip,& swiss chard.
Yellow or white onion,mushroom,Serrano or red bell or ground cayenne pepper.Might add peppers raw after greens are cooked idk.
Salt,pepper,fresh garlic,cumin?,thyme?
Radish-raw,shredded fine & added after the above is cooked.
I think ill make 1/4 to 1/2 bundle of each green & a full turnip.
1/2 to whole onion,handfull mushrooms,4-5 serranos,pinch of salt & pepper,& 3 cloves garlic.I'm just guessing how much.
Thanks to all who can help me out on this.Love this site!
