According to the MIND diet article shown below, the participants had to eat 6 or more servings of green, leafy vegetables per week to get the full point for this category.

So what did they consider green, leafy vegetables?

Their chart shows this footnote: “Kale, collards, greens; spinach; lettuce/tossed salad.”

On the other hand, the ‘Other Vegetables’ category has this footnote:;
“Green/red peppers, squash, cooked carrots, raw carrots, broccoli, celery,
potatoes, peas or lima beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, string beans, beets,
corn, zucchini/summer squash/eggplant, coleslaw, potato salad.”

So, that clarifies it a bit.  I will be back with some recipes for this category.
