Think of Popeye and eat more spinach. Plu s\, it&rsquo\;s so easy to make-soak/rinse\, chop in soups\, stews\, sal ads\, stir frys\, blanched\, or boiled. Some suggestions-creamed spinach \, spinach/feta rice\, stirfry\, or quiche to name a few.\nKale facts:\n Fact #1-estimated daily requirements for one cup contain 180% of Vitamin \, 200% of Vitamin C\, 1000% of Vitamin K\, 15% of Vitamin\, 15% calcium \, 40% magnesium\, and 5% fiber.\nFact #2-contains the phytonutrient lut ein which protects against cataracts and atherosclerosis\, and increases antioxidant (prevents cancer) activity.\nFact #3-binds bile acids (aids digestion) and lowers cholesterol\, reducing the risk of heart disease. \nAnd\, also some suggestions: it can be boiled\, steamed\, stir-fried\, or eaten raw\, used in stews\, soups\, pastas\, salads\, smoothies\, or made into chips. You can put kale in practically everything you eat or drink-except coffee\, tea or cocktails. We like to use the leafy portion and put pasta in the kale. Cook the pasta separately\, and toss the shr edded kale in for a few minutes. Adding butter\, bacon\, and parmesan ch eese can give it a richer flavor. If you would like a detailed recipe fo r our kale pasta\, go to our website atdffarms.com\nThe goods on broccol i:\nOne of the most nutritious vegetables containing anti-carcinogens\, anti-aging\, fiber\, minerals\, and large amounts of vitamin A. Scientif ic research show that raw broccoli can reduce the risk of bladder cancer by 40% (three servings a month!) Further\, this super veggie not only h elps reduce the chance of cataracts\, but also\, may prevent colon cance r\, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.\nEat more g reens!\nTeam Dragonfly\ndragonflyfarms@hotmail.com\ndffarms.com URL:http://germantown.patch.com/events/new-germantown-farmers-market SUMMARY:NEW Germantown Farmers Market LOCATION:20000 Father Hurley Blvd\, Germantown\, MD 20874: 20000 Father H urley Blvd\, Germantown\, MD END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
