    Beet greens, definitely beet greens. And for some reason there are plenty of 'em lately at my Michigan farmer's market, locally grown, in March. Must be early beet thinning season, or something. So good.

    LOVE beet greens!! I remember making a post here a few years ago asking what that magic green was in my mixed greens, and it changed how I do shopping forever. Every time I enter a grocery store, even if I'm just buying toilet paper, I will check the produce section if they have one looking for my next beet greens "fix". We don't get them often around here.

    Fiddleheads, and the season is slowly coming here.
    Mushrooms. I've been living on those things lately.

    Lentils and baby spinach. I eat both several times a week, they are both very versatile and delicious

    I wouldn't say mushrooms are undderrated. Depends on the type I guess.

    Turnips, while undderrated sure, are disgusting

    I think dried beans/legumes aren't given their due credit. Either it's canned or none. Since having an Instant Pot I make them all the time (don't need to soak) and they taste way better than canned, I eat a batch a week in salads alone now.

    I love frozen peas... still frozen. Does that count? haha

    A really delicious thing is sliced turnips layered with a savory fresh-mushroom-heavy bread stuffing (I like whole grain bread). No, I don't have a recipe, but it's just basic bread stuffing (like for poultry) with sage, garlic, etc.; and the turnips; then baked in a casserole dish until done. To keep calories manageable, I think one could reduce the bread part to just enough to nicely absorb the mushroom juices, if desired.

    @pancakerunner, I think you and I are nearly food-preference opposites. I love turnips and lentils . . . and you know what I think about those Lofthouse cookies you seem to obsess over. :lol:

    I think we could avoid interpersonal conflict if we were shipwrecked together on an island with a decent grocery store! ;):flowerforyou:

    I'm vegetarian. You'd be safe. For a long time, at least. ;)

    I confess, I haven’t read through the thread. Did someone mention parsnips?
