Dock is a great source ofvitamin C, as well as vitamins B1, K, karotine, and lots of organicacids. In addition to that it has lots of calcium, magnesium, iron,and phosphor. All in all, it is definitely a good addition to one'sdiet.

According to google it's as good, or nearly, as normal spinach. So rich in iron (ask Popeye).

russians eat a lot of soup, i'm guessing cause it is always cold and grey there?

but yeah soup is an awesome way to get in a lot of veggies. I love grassfed bone broth soup with veggies..

It's very similar to spinach. All green vegetables are good for you. They are some of the most nutrient dense foods on earth. You get an extremely high concentration of vitamins and minerals for very minimal calories.

Keep eating the dock my friend. It's not available for purchase here in Canada, otherwise I would add it into my daily diet.

At the end of the day, there are no magic foods. Any fruit and vegetable is going to be good for you. It's best to eat a wide variety of different fruits and vegetables each day.

Veggies are a great choice and especially dark green ones. I would always include them in your diet.

Yeah, the soups are warm, and it is regarded as healthy. In fact, soup is considered here the healthiest thing. But it is not always cold and grey here ) Here where I live it has been 37 degrees celcius all summer long ))
