What about Kale?



Kale is a superfood that is power packed.

A one cup serving of kale has 1327% of the recommended daily value (DV) of Vitamin K, 192% of the DV of Vitamin A, and 88% of the DV of Vitamin C. WOW! It is also a great source of many other nutrients including protein- yes, protein! This web resource gives a good view of the nutritional profile for kale. Also, kale and other cruciferous vegetables have received attention because of their sulfur-containing phytonutrients that seem to be powerful cancer preventing and fighting antioxidants.
