types of green veggies
1 Radicchio: Not green (reddish-purple), but leafy; keeps amazingly well and punches-up salads with its bright, peppery taste. 2  Rapini: a green veggie with spiked leaves surrounding a green bud that looks much like a small head of broccoli. 3  Often, there are small yellow flowers blooming from the buds, which are edible.
Green/Leafy Vegetables. 1  Amaranth: with roots in the Americas, this plant yields both greens and grain. 2  The greens, also known as Chinese spinach, are sometimes steamed or boiled and then mashed and mixed with various seasonings. 3  Please note that, like spinach, amaranth contains a fair amount of oxalic acid.
