green leaf
Living plant part
A green leaf is a leaf that is green—the typical color of healthy, living foliage due to chlorophyll.
The phrase is often redundant since most leaves are green, but it distinguishes from autumn colors or dried leaves: The tree was full of green leaves.
In dietary contexts, green leafy vegetables are nutrient-rich plants like spinach and kale.
