Spinach is an amazingly healthy leaf vegetable.

Even before the hurricanes, they produced half of the leaf vegetables eaten in Cuba, which imports about 60 percent of its food.

A few leaf vegetables such as romaine, endive, radicchio, and cabbage can also be deliciously transformed by a short sojourn over a fire.

Most green leafed vegetables remain at low retail prices except for celery which is in shorter supply as it grows through the bolting period.
