Leafy greens often take a backseat in our diet, but for those with celiac, they should be front and center. Spinach, kale, chard, and collards aren’t just splashy additions to a plate; they’re nutrition powerhouses. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibers, they provide an array of health benefits.
These greens are rich in folate, a crucial nutrient for cell function and tissue growth. For someone with celiac disease, ensuring a consistent intake of folate becomes imperative, given the gut’s compromised nutrient absorption capabilities. Moreover, the iron content in these greens is commendable. Iron is vital for blood health, energy levels, and overall vitality. (3)
