Date: January 19, 2015 09:25PM So I mostly eat iceberg lettuce as a fave, n sometimes turnip greens, collard greens, romaine... sometimes other kinds but my fave is iceberg n I probably adhere to eating that too much. What's the best kind, that's also low oxalate? Spinach can be toxic in high amts so I stopped eating it, bc such high oxalates. Also has to be cheap. This is about like, the leafy greens used in salad Re: most nutritious leafy green

Date: January 19, 2015 09:34PM * amaranth greens (high oxalates will reduce when grown into baby greens)
* sunflower greens * kale sprouts * weed sprouts (oxalates are lower in baby weed sprouts over the mature weed) If the oxalates hurt your your kidneys you can always use brown seaweeds and fenugreek sprout juice to stop any possible renal damage, + adding fermented wheat sprout water to the juices will probably help too. www.thesproutarian.com Re: most nutritious leafy green

Date: January 19, 2015 10:03PM The greens that have been harvested few minutes before you eat them are the most nutritious. Re: most nutritious leafy green

Date: January 19, 2015 10:37PM Yeah, you have to grow them yourself.
Collards when baby are very tender but the supermarket sells these gigantic elephant-ear size monster bunches where they are very tough and the stalks are like wood. Overall, for something you can get at the grocery, watercress is probably the winner. But I end up eating a lot of cabbage because it's $0.30/lb sometimes. Re: most nutritious leafy green

Date: January 19, 2015 10:54PM I used to be able to buy hydroponic watercress at the grocery store - which was great - but those days are over.
It's almost impossible to find organic watercress and that's the only kind that should be eaten. Watercress is almost always grown in farmer's lowest most flood prone areas - just the spots where all their poisons and toxic fertilizers accumulate and seep into the soil. Bad news for watercress and those who eat it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
