Tombalık greens are easy to cook by sautéing the leaves until tender. Add them to eggs, soup, or a savory pie filling; add the leaves near the end of cooking so they do not become overly soft.
Tombalık greens are leafy greens eaten as a vegetable. They can be cooked or, if the leaves are tender and thoroughly washed, added raw to salads.
Yes, tender Tombalık greens can be eaten raw after a thorough wash. Try a small amount in a salad first; if the leaves seem tough, briefly sauté them or stir them into a hot dish instead.
Tombalık greens have a leafy, herbaceous taste. The flavor can vary with freshness and preparation, so try a small sautéed portion first; eggs or yogurt make easy accompaniments if you want to soften the green flavor.
Rinse Tombalık greens carefully under cool running water, separating the leaves so soil can wash away. Trim any tough parts and dry the leaves before chopping. Fresh Tombalık greens are unprocessed, so wash them before eating or cooking.
Store Tombalık greens unwashed in the refrigerator, with excess moisture removed, loosely wrapped in paper or in a perforated bag. Wash them just before use and discard any leaves that have wilted or become slimy.
Yes, you can freeze Tombalık greens, although thawed leaves are better suited to cooked dishes than salads. Wash and briefly blanch the leaves, cool them quickly, drain them well, and freeze in portions.
Yes, Tombalık greens work in both soups and savory pie fillings. Chop the leaves and add them to soup near the end, or cook and drain them before mixing them into a filling to avoid excess moisture.
Yes, the tender, thin stems of Tombalık greens can be eaten along with the leaves. Remove any thick or fibrous parts, and add the remaining stems to the pan slightly before the leaves so they have time to soften.
Spinach or Swiss chard can stand in for Tombalık greens in many cooked recipes. Their texture and flavor are different, so adjust the amount and cooking time to suit the dish rather than treating the swap as exact.

Tombalik greens are the edible leaves of a leafy vegetable known by this regional name. Their exact growing area and local preparation can vary, so they are best treated much like other tender cooking greens rather than assigned a specific origin or recipe.
They can be wilted into a pan with onion, stirred into eggs, or cooked with other vegetables; serve them as a side or fold them into a grain or bean dish. Their mild, green character suits bright flavours such as lemon and yogurt. They are a light source of fibre and micronutrients, with 28 calories and 2.7 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter preparation, use a modest amount of oil and cook just until tender.
Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
