We all know the benefits of eating greens. They are nutritious, have good fiber, are detoxifying, and contribute to overall great health.

The recipe offered below is an Afro-Asian style of greens that I like to prepare. I was told to post it, so here it is! Note: I never measure ingredients, so all measurements are approximate. Please use your own judgment.

These greens can be served with your favorite rice, corn bread, and/or protein of your choice. Enjoy!
