Some years ago it seemed like this leafy vegetable was everywhere. The kale trend is worth keeping. This relative of cabbage is regarded as a superfood due to its tremendous nutritional content. One cup of kale contains a great amount of magnesium, potassium, vitamins, and actually matches and sometimes even surpasses a cup of milk in terms of calcium content. Kale has plenty of antioxidants. Its complex chemical composition can help to fight cancer, and can actually repair DNA in damaged cells. Steamed or sauteed, boiled or pureed, this veggie maintains its nutritional content regardless of preparation. So if you don't like kale, just be creative and prepare it another way!
