Try these nutrition-packed greens
If you eat a lot of iceberg lettuce, you're missing out on valuable nutrients, as well as flavors. Try romaine lettuce, arugula, chicory, collard greens, dandelion greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach or watercress. Ease into the transition by mixing darker greens with the lighter versions you may be used to.
