Leafy dark greens

Which ones are okay to eat?

I feel like i need chlorophyll and other goodies in them even if they contain beta carotene

You certainly have multiple choices depending on your own ability to handle the different leafy greens.

The safest ones are iceberg and romaine lettuce.

Spinach can be troublesome because of oxalates, arugula is an alternative to spinach without much oxalates.

Kale is higher is goitrogens. Boiling it in a soup is a good way to reduce goitrogens.

Leafy green broth (discarding the leaves after cooking) could be a solution since carotenoids are mostly fat soluble.

I had steamed spinach

What about chlorella and spirulina 

They have amazing reviews

none

Parsnip and celeriac are probably your best vegetable options. If you're more tolerant maybe you can get away with eating something like iceberg lettuce. All dark leafy greens are full of carotenoids, absolutely full, almost as bad as eating liver.

My taste buds really like cabbage, but it must be cooked, raw cabbage causes me lower GI problems.  I also eat a forkful of kraut now and then.
