MIXED GREENS

 If you have never had,  greens you are not only missing out on taste but
Nourishment.   Greens are high in iron,  Dark green leafy vegetables are, calorie for calorie, probably the most concentrated source of nutrition of any food. They are a rich source of minerals (including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) and vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins. They also provide a variety of phytonutrients including beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which protect our cells from damage and our eyes from age-related problems, among many other effects. Dark green leaves even contain small amounts of Omega-3 fats.
    Perhaps the Star Vitamin is .....Vitamin K......Perhaps the star of these nutrients is Vitamin K. A cup of most cooked greens provides at least nine times the minimum recommended intake of Vitamin K, and even a couple of cups of dark salad greens usually provide the minimum all on their own. Recent research has provided evidence that this vitamin may be even more important than we once thought (the current minimum may not be optimal), and many people do not get enough of it.

NOTES AND TIPS
After I clean my greens... I like Collard Greens, kale, Turnip Greens, Mustard Greens
I then cut then so I and my company can eat them without worrying about bite size.

I use a large soup pot. I get the pot hot to smoking, add 3 tablespoons ofExtra Virgin Olive Oil.
1 Hamhock,   1/2 pound of chopped bacon.
2 large sweet onions chopped ( not diced)
When these are just about done I add 5 cups of Chicken Broth ( Swanson 33% less sodium)
1/2 stick of butter.    ( unsalted real butter , Not Margerine , ... I like to control my salt)

Allow to cook greens as above, this will absolutely be delicious.
