Kale: Fiber: 2g of fiber and 120mg of vitamin C
Leafy greens continue their vegetable vitamin C domination with kale providing 120% Daily Value per cup. But kale offers so much more beyond its reputation as a vitamin C, fiber, and calcium powerhouse. Additional minerals like potassium, manganese, and copper support healthy functioning.
Kale packs antioxidant effects of plant pigments like vitamin A, quercetin, and kaempferol. Research ties regular kale intake to lowered risks for chronic diseases through its anti-inflammatory and genetic-regulating properties. For maximum texture and flavor impact in recipes, massage chopped kale leaves for a few minutes before adding them to salads.
