Kale, or curly cabbage, has long earned a reputation as one of the most nutritious vegetable crops in the world.
This member of the cruciferous family offers an impressive list of vitamins and minerals. It is believed that regular consumption of kale can help strengthen the immune system, maintain normal cholesterol levels, and even protect against some forms of cancer.
Rich in vitamins A, K, C, and minerals such as calcium and potassium, kale is a powerful source of antioxidants, including quercetin and kaempferol.
