Kale?

Everyone is yammering about kale… but what’s the big deal?

  • # 1. It’s chock full of nutrition.
    One cup has 32% of your daily Vitamin C requirement, 32% Vitamin A plus 2% calcium!*
  • # 2. It’s a leafy green.
    Leafy greens are good for clearing out mucus, improving your circulation and funny enough… when you eat lots of them, they improve your mood.
  • # 3: It stays good in the fridge for about a week!
    If you are like me, I forget that something is in the fridge to be cooked, so it’s great when a leafy green lasts a while in the fridge.
