#9 Tindora


Recipe: Cut off ends, cut in half, cut halves in three long pieces, drizzle in olive oil and add your favorite seasoning, then saute until tender or bake at 350 for 25 minutes. I baked them.

How I felt about it: They look like mini cucumbers, and when cooked tasted like most squash. They were good.

#8 Swiss Chard


Recipe: http://casualkitchen.blogspot.com/2007/08/antioxidant-alert-how-to-cook-swiss.html  I cooked it like they said and added nothing to it.

How I felt about it:  I would love to tell you how it tastes, but it doesn't really have a taste. A good choice for a healthy green (good antioxidant) if you don't like the way greens taste. Next time I may add a little garlic to see if that gives it any flavor.

#7 Kale


Recipe: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, add 1 cup water or broth (I used vegetable broth), add Kale, toss to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes (adding more water or broth as needed). Remove lid and continue to cook until liquid has evaporated. Salt and Pepper to taste (I barely used any).

How I felt about it: LOVED IT! Kale lived up to what everyone makes of it. I will definitely be eating more kale.
