HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTSย ย OF KALE
Kale contains beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin (a carotenoid similar to lutein), calcium, fiber,ย and delivers more than twice the recommended daily value of calcium.

A sulfur-containing phytonutrient in kale called sulforaphane is believed to have powerful anti-cancer, anti-diabetic and anti-microbial properties and is released when the leaves are chopped or chewed (or blended in a green smoothie!).

Kale also contains powerful antioxidants that help protect against certain cancers such as ovarian cancer.

Kale is an excellent green to use for detox smoothies as it has cleansing properties.

The nutrients in kale help protect against cataracts while promoting healthy lungs, cardiovascular health and boosts the immune system.

Kale has anti-inflammatory properties making it an excellent food for those with rheumatoid arthritis.ย
