Benefits

Kale has found its way into homes and restaurant menus alike. It is considered a “superfood” because it is packed with many nutrients such as calcium, potassium, and beta-carotene.

It is one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world and has significant amounts of antioxidants that can help prevent cancer. It can reduce inflammation, being able to fight arthritis, asthma, and other inflammatory illnesses. It is low in calories, high in fiber, and has zero fat.

Kale is a versatile green vegetable and can be used raw in salads, sautéed/steamed/braised, or roasted into crunchy kale chips. It is also used in soups, smoothies, salads, and much more. The tough stems and ribs should be removed before the greens are cooked.

Kale grows tender and full of flavor when conditions are favorable.

There are different varieties of Kale, from the scaly-looking Dinosaur Kale (also called Tuscan Kale) and Kurly Kale.

Some varieties display shades of red and purple, like the Russian Red Kale.
