what greens do you recommend and how do you use them?

Collards can be eaten with just a little salt on them or with a small dab of butter and some salt. I usually just eat them with salt. They're a great addition to soup, too.

So they should be cooked... Do you saute them then?

Spinach is good... I was wondering what to do with collards. I don't eat meat and thought that most people used bacon in cooking them... Are there other ways to do it?

The linked worked great... I have though never seen that weed before. I live in a more developed area in the South. I have a funny feeling that that weed grows in the North where there is more elevation. I am actually more interested in greens that I can purchase at supermarkets, natural food stores or farmer's markets as that is how most people find food in my area... I live in an apartment where there is no land to grow anything.

I must say, the only thing that I have tried which you mentioned is the mung bean sprouts. It is fun to grow them indeed. It looks like I need to visit some Asian markets with someone who knows what the rest of the greens are as I will not find them in the supermarket. Thanks for sharing all of this information. You well deserved the best response award.

Some good greens you should find in the grocery: 1.Moringa- Its leaves of a tree, This vegetable can be cooked and mixed to all recipes because its bland, it can also be eaten raw, Its the most nutricious leaves in existence.It doesnt rely on pesticides and grows in all areas. I think its available in some Asian(particularly Filipino or Indian) stores. Try to research on it cos its the King of all vegetables. 2.Sweet Potato greens -Leaves of sweet potato, very popular in African and Asian cuisines, another superfood, You have to steam them before cooking. 3.Swamp Cabbage or Chinese Spinach- are leafy greens that grows in rivers,It can be stir fried or eaten raw,Its very popular in Asian cuisine. this vegetable is available in the USA already. usually in Asian stores, 4. --- have you tried sprouts, they are the best fresh greens, You will just buy certain seeds with edible sprouts and grow them in your kitchen counter. (dont buy sprouts in the groceries, they were grown in manure) Mungbean sprouts is the easiest sprout ever, Just buy some mung beans, you can grow them in a jar. This is a tutorial how to make them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3wh196bjtE Its great for salads. I live in a small condo unit and I always have sprouts on my salad. another good one would be sunflower sprouts, Just buy some raw organic sunflower seeds, they can raise them in plates, and harvest them in just 5 days. this is tutorial to grow them, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3y7UiGn2-M

Thanks for sharing what you love... Do you eat those greens raw? If not, how do you prepare them?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am sorry that you got sick. I am glad that you are doing well now and able to eat home grown veggies.

All those green can be eaten raw or cooked, except arugule (I have never tasted it cooked). I planted greens at my garden last Autumn (we have mild Winters) and I could eat raw green only because there were from my house. I got ill and the docctor forbid raw bought veggies.

I must admit to having still no clue about what saluyot is except that it is jute. When I think of jute though I think of rope for macrame. I have never seen it in any of the supermarkets here in California. I am wondering about salted fish... Is that another name for canned fish? I am glad that you are sharing this recipe though as I like to know what is eaten by people around the world and others will know exactly what you are talking about. Thanks for sharing here.

There are better source for macrame or sinamay here. A nicely hand woven bags made out of abaca bark. Talking about saluyot, there are more people who eats this from the middle east. They say saluyot was the best for Cleopatra..

Looks like I will try to find saluyot... not sure where though... Maybe there is a store which sells things from the Middle East nearby which I do not know about. Thanks again for sharing.
