How to Enjoy Mustard Greens
Food Bank Receives 8 pounds of Greens
Eight pounds of mustard greens made their way to the Food Bank the last week March, along with a printout of ten ways to use them in recipes. Mustard is fairly hardy and can grow throughout the winter months with a bit of protection. They are a nice addition to our tables while other greens are just starting to grow.
According to healthline.com, Mustard greens are packed with energy-boosting, heart-healthy, disease-fighting nutrients. These greens are a delicious source of calcium, magnesium, folic acid and vitamin K, important for bone health. Raw mustard greens have a tasty, peppery bite, but you can mellow it by cooking.
If you happen to have an instant pot handy, pressure cook the leaves for 1 minute and release the pressure. They will be perfectly cooked, done, but not overdone. You can do the same for Kale and Chard.
