Chlorophyll is present in all green-colored vegetables and fruits as chlorophyll a and chlorophyll
b. They are fat-soluble compounds with good antioxidant properties. Foods containing
chlorophyll is best eaten with a minimum amount of fats or oils because when we ingest
chlorophyll moves around our body in micelles, which are molecular groups that contain fat.
Hence small quantities of healthy fats/oils will help their processing after a meal.
