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.

  • vitamin K
  • vitamin A
  • Potassium
  • Roboflavin
  • Manganese
  • Iron
  • Folate
  • Thiamin
  • Magnesium
  • Calcium
  • Vitamin B6
  • Vitamin C

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