What does GREENS mean in Scrabble?
noun
Leafy green vegetables eaten as food, such as spinach, cabbage, kale or collard leaves.
Greens is the everyday word cooks and grocers use for the whole family of leafy vegetables that are boiled, steamed or sautéed and served as a side dish, rather than for any single plant. In the southern United States the term especially refers to collard greens or mustard greens simmered slowly with seasoning. Although the word looks like the plural of the colour green, it functions as its own food term and is normally used only in this plural form. Nutritionists often recommend eating more greens for their vitamins and fibre.
