Craving Kale?

Why Kale should be part of your salad! 

Below is a list of Kale's nutritional value. You can bet that its time to switch from regular lettuce to real SUPER greens that's more beneficial to your health.

Anti-inflammatory

Kale is an incredibly effective anti-inflammatory food, potentially preventing and even reversing these illnesses.

Iron
kale has more iron than beef.

Calcium
Kale contains more calcium per calorie than milk (90 grams per serving) and is also better absorbed by the body than dairy.

Fiber
One serving of kale not only contains 5 percent of the recommended daily intake of fiber, but it also provides 2 grams of protein.

Omega fatty acids
A serving of kale contains 121 mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 92.4 mg of omega-6 fatty acids.

Immunity
Kale is an incredibly rich source of immune-boosting carotenoid and flavanoid antioxidants including vitamins A and C.

Sustainable
Kale grows to maturity in 55 to 60 days versus a cow raised for beef for an average of 18-24 months. Kale can grow in most climates and is relatively easy and low impact to grow at home or on a farm. To raise one pound of beef requires 16 pounds of grain, 11 times as much fossil fuel and more than 2,400 gallons of water.
