Prep notes
Blend, wilt, or dry — that kills the sting. Calcium and vitamin K sit with kale; iron is honest, not spinach-mythic. Young tops only.
Season
Often seasonal where grown; year-round when imported or stored.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
