Turnip greens: three times as much calcium as milk
My daughter found daisies in the park today. It really is spring! Food bloggers would probably celebrate with a great spring recipe; I give you facts. This is a table with the amount of protein and some vitamins and minerals per 100 calories of great foods that are finally in season again (in the Netherlands, that is.)
You can sort by nutrient: just click on the nutrient title. Values for milk and beef are included for reference.
