In recent years, kale has been highly touted as a health food. So much so, it has almost become a cultural symbol for healthy eating – and for good reason! This nutrient dense green leafy vegetable is part of the cruciferous family (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, etc.). Like its vegetable relatives, kale contains a broad range of antioxidants and has been shown to help prevent common chronic conditions such as cancer, Type II diabetes and heart disease. Carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin found in kale boost eye health and help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. Studies have also shown it to be effective in improving cholesterol levels, stabilizing blood sugar and decreasing blood pressure. In addition, kale is jam-packed with vitamins. Eating one cup of chopped kale gets you over 200% of your daily value of vitamin A, 134% of your daily value for vitamin C, and almost 700% of your daily value for vitamin K! In addition, kale contains important minerals like manganese, potassium and copper.
