While those Gen-Y kales now claim a dizzying array of health benefits, silverbeet has long been used by herbalists. Since the Roman days, the juice of the leaves has been associated with cancer cures and soothing toothaches, while renowned 17th-century herbalist Nicholas Culpeper proscribed it to combat both vertigo and headaches. Today, science tells us silverbeet should be praised for its high levels of vitamins A, K, and C, as well as being high in minerals such as potassium, iron, zinc, and manganese.

How to do:

1. Wash the Silverbeet and Zucchini and cut it in thin stripes. Weight your remaining ingredients.
