Beans and greens are an endlessly customizable duo that isn't just satisfying, but very nutritious. There are nearly as many types of greens as there are types of beans, so combinations are endless. Plus, beans are available year round, whether dried or canned, and are very affordable and shelf-stable staples packed with protein, carbs, vitamins, and minerals. Greens are seasonal produce, but many types are likewise available year round. They provide a wealth of micro-nutrients and can be enjoyed raw or cooked.

Storage begins with washing and thoroughly drying greens. Using a salad spinner or wrapping in paper towels helps keep greens fresh for three to five days.
