Comment by Sandhya M on 24 February 2009 04:23AM I wish I would have known this site earlier.Very nice.
All these days I have just looked the fresh greens in Korean market.Never bought them or observed their names.From now onwards I have to search Beet Leaves, Turnip Greens, Bok Choy....& more in future. Reply :- Oh. Give a try to all the greens. Each has a unique flavour and taste. I love green leafy vegetables. Needless to say about its health benefits. |
