Leafy vegetables are often difficult to digest due to their high fiber content, particularly cellulose, which humans lack the enzymes to break down effectively. Additionally, certain compounds in these vegetables, such as oxalates and phytates, can bind to nutrients and inhibit their absorption. Cooking leafy greens can help break down some of these fibers and compounds, making them easier to digest and increasing nutrient availability.
