Being dense is good

Nutritionally dense, that is. Green leafy things in particular are packing a lot.



1 whole unpeeled organic cucumber (from a friend's garden!)
2 stalks bok choy
2 leaves swiss chard
1 organic granny smith apple
1 whole lemon (rind removed)
1.5-inch chunk fresh ginger root

The above ingredients yielded about 16 ounces of juice, which according to my calculations contains the following "daily values based on a 2,000-calorie diet":

238% Vitamin A
216% Vitamin C
10% Vitamin E
1084% Vitamin K
13% Thiamin
20% Riboflavin
8% Niacin
28% Vitamin B6
34% Folate
25% Calcium
23% Iron
37% Magnesium
37% Potassium
8% Sodium
8% Zinc
18% Copper
43% Manganese
3% Selenium

And it doesn't taste like a liquified salad, thanks to the lemon, ginger and apple.
