Kale is a fantastic superfood. It is a powerhouse of nutrients like beta-carotene, vitamins C, K, and folate and the minerals calcium, magnesium, and iron.
Its antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids compounds provide potent anti-inflammatory properties.
I recommend adding kale blended into smoothies or eating it cooked lightly to bring out its flavour. Here is a quick and easy kale salad recipe you can make in 6 minutes.
