Green leafy vegetables can be classified according to the intensity of colour or how greenish it looks. Dark leafy greens are one of its types becoming a popular choice like kale and spinach. Lettuce and cabbage are good examples of light greens.

If you want to eat a plate of plain greens, you can cook it in a pot of boiling salted water for about 4 minutes. Use a colander to drain excess water, then rinse quickly with cold water to stop the heat from cooking. Drain thoroughly by gently tapping the excess water.
