Why Kale Is The Greatest
Kale is the king of all the super greens!
It’s one of the healthiest and nutritious plant foods in existence. Loaded with all sorts of beneficial compounds, some of which have powerful medicinal properties.
The most common type of kale is curly kale which has green and curly leaves and a hard stem. Kale contains all of the below essential nutrients:
Vitamin A
Vitamin K
Vitamin C
Vitamin B6
Manganese
Calcium
Copper
Potassium
Magnesium
A single cup of kale roughly contains only 33 calories, with 6 grams of carbs (2 of which are finer) and 3 grams of protein.
Adding kale to your diet is relatively simple. You can simply add it to your salads or use it in recipes. A popular snack is kale chips, where you drizzle some extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil on your kale, add some salt and then bake in it an oven until dry. It tastes absolutely delicious and makes a great crunchy, super healthy snack. A lot of people also add kale to their smoothies in order to boost the nutritional value. If you want to dramatically boost the amount of nutrients you take in, I can’t recommend loading up on kale enough.
