I love chopped up kale. Aldi carries an already chopped up bag of kale for $3 or so which makes eating this powerhouse veggie so much easier.
So what is kale? Kale is part of the cabbage family.
It has a lot of nutritional benefits. Here are some of the vitamins and minerals that kale contains.

Kale is also anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, improves eye health, detoxifies your body, improves heart health, fortifies your bones, and lowers cancer risk.
