veggies- highest to lowest

turnip greens chopped/cooked=79
spinach raw= 75 {see e coli warning thread}
bok choy raw /shredded = 72
mustard greens cooked =65
spinach whole leaf -frozen =57
beet greens cooked = 56
parsley fresh =54

I just noticed the serving sizes are different for some- getting complicated
- I'll just hit the more mainstream foods and if anyone wants to know any specfic food I can look it up- other wise it's a lot of typing

mainstream veggies- high to low points rating

spinach
broccoli
romaine lettuce
asparagus
peppers sweet red
califlower
brussels sprouts
cabbage
green pepper
carrots
lettuce - butterhead, boston , bibb
mushrooms
loose leaf lettuce
tomato
radish
peas n carrots frz mix
squash butternut
Another great thread. I'm on a bumping roll. Sorry if it bothers some of you, but I think they are important, and some new people may not have seen them. Hopefully more replies will be added to all of the threads.

You want to eat the HIGH numbered foods. HIGH numbers are good here. OK, now that I've made it clear to ME....
Hugs,
