kale

Kale is a highly nutritious leafy green vegetable belonging to the cruciferous family. It is known for its dark green, curly or flat leaves and slightly bitter, earthy flavor. Kale is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, iron, dietary fiber, and powerful antioxidants, supporting bone health, immunity, and digestion. It can be eaten raw in salads and smoothies or cooked in stir-fries, soups, and sautés. Kale grows best in cool climates and becomes sweeter after light frost. Low in calories and high in nutrients, kale is often called a superfood and is popular in healthy diets worldwide.
