Kale! Packs a Punch!
Kale is in the peak of its season.
This week we celebrate the hearty flavor and wealth of nutrients we can enjoy by adding kale to our Healthiest Way of Eating.
Kale is ranked among the top 10 of the World's Healthiest Foods when it comes to providing the most nutritional value for the least number of calories, making it a great choice for those who have resolved to lose a few pounds after the holidays. Although kale is available year-round, it has a much sweeter flavor this time of year, so we encourage you to add it to your shopping list this coming week and enjoy!
Nutritional Value
A one cup serving of cooked kale contains a whopping 192% of the daily value (DV) for vitamin A, 89% DV for vitamin C and 27% DV for manganese—and all of this for only 34 calories!
