People do derive some nutritional value from leafy vegetables even without digesting the cellulose content, since leafy vegetables also contain vitamin C. In addition, the fiber content is useful even without being digested because it helps to stimulate peristalsis (which is to say, it helps the digestive tract to recognize that it has food in it, which needs to move along the tract).
