    Green Vegetables were mentioned in the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (2), Verse 61

            "And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green Vegetables and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing."
     

    Nutritional Value

    Green vegetables and herbs are an excellent source of fiber, which helps to regulate digestion and prevent constipation. They are also low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals, making them an ideal food for weight loss and maintenance.

    Green vegetables are rich in antioxidants that help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

    Herbs, on the other hand, are packed with essential oils that have antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

    Examples:

    • Spinach: A leafy green vegetable with a slightly bitter taste. Rich in iron, vitamins A and K, and antioxidants. Helps improve bone health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases
    • Celery: is a crunchy, low-calorie vegetable that's high in fiber, vitamin K, and antioxidants. It's a great addition to salads and stir-fries.
