Now, these subtly sweet leaves (think: sugar snap peas) have been given new life and will do the same for your stir-frys, smoothies, and even sandwiches—in fact, we think they make the perfect sturdy, low-cal substitute for a flour tortilla. Simply load them up with your favorite fillers, roll, and eat; or fold in half and consume taco-style. The perks: BroccoLeaf is organic, high in the immune-boosting antioxidant vitamins A and C, and a great source of bone-building minerals compared to other leafy greens—just two leaves contain 30% of your daily value of calcium (2x as much as kale) along with a hefty dose of vitamin K, which is what allows your body to actually utilize this calcium. Oh, and did we mention that it only costs $1-$2 a bunch? Can’t beat that. Give this new green a whirl with this simple sauté recipe—the perfect base for salmon, chicken, shrimp, or your whatever protein you choose.
