Cabbage - a powerful cancer-fighter and also offers a good amount of fiber, Vitamin C and indoles (important nutrients that protect against some cancers). Shred raw in slaw and salads, use as a wrap (stuffed cabbage) for meats or veggies and braise, add to soups and stews, sauté it or stir fry, and you can pickle cabbage as in sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is a beneficial fermented food. Use shredded in sandwiches as lettuce.

Pairs nicely with potatoes - the Irish have a wonderful dish called Colcannon with Cabbage and Potatoes. Try Cabbage Curry. This is a cruciferous vegetable and obviously part of the cabbage family.

Collard Greens - Even more nutritious than cabbage! Even though it is common in Southern cooking where it is simmered with salt pork or a ham hock, here is a great Vegetarian way to enjoy Collards: Collards, Golden Raisin, and Almond Sauté. Best choices are small and firm. If the stalks are too tough, remove. A simple way to prepare them is to first sauté onions and garlic, then either sauté the chopped Collards like Spinach or simmer them slowly (for 30 minutes) in broth or water until they become tender. The broth helps capture the bitterness and leaves them sweet and delicious. Season with a kick with spices like ginger, curry, or hot peppers. Add a splash of vinegar. This is a cruciferous vegetable. Other Recipes

Watercress - pretty and flavorful addition to your salad with a peppery bite. Can also be used in soups, sauces, salad, salad, and salad, pastas, frittata, or stir fries. Aside from the ever famous watercress sandwiches, try one of these recipes or these recipes. Store it with the stems in water in the fridge and keep it loosely in it's plastic wrapper. This is a cruciferous vegetable. Watercress is a source of calcium and has many mysterious uses.

Lettuce - there are a variety of lettuces so don't get stuck in Iceberg, which is much less nutritious and less flavorful. Basically there are four kinds of Lettuce: Romaine, Butter (loose head), Loose-Leaf (loose leaves but not a real "head" of lettuce), and Iceberg (tight head). This week we’ll have the gorgeous and delicious Red Butter Lettuce also called Boston or Bibb Lettuce. This has a delicate sweet flavor with a buttery texture. Mix with other lettuces and greens like Watercress, or a Red Leaf Lettuce for a gourmet salad.

Great as a tasty snack or contrasting color, sharp peppery flavor and texture tin any salad, Radishes can be eaten raw, served with cheese in a sandwich, added to soups, roasted, sautéed as a side, served with olive oil by themselves, served with salt, pickled, or added to a stir-fry. They also can be used to make nice decorations for your plate! The French eat them for breakfast with salt, bread and butter. Like Beets, the greens should be separated from the root before putting in the refrigerator for optimal flavor and nutrition. And like Beets, the greens are highly nutritious too! Add them to a salad or sauté them as you would other greens. This is a cruciferous vegetable.

Preparation tip: after washing and cutting into the desired shape, put them in an ice water bath for a few hours if you want them to be a bit milder in flavor.
