Kale is a superfood leafy green with exceptional vitamin K, A, and C content. This hardy cruciferous vegetable offers powerful antioxidants including quercetin and kaempferol, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation.
Massaging kale with olive oil or lemon juice breaks down the tough cell walls, making it more tender and easier to digest. It also reduces the bitter taste and makes nutrients more accessible.
Kale is extremely high in vitamin K (587% DV), which affects blood clotting. People on blood thinners like warfarin should maintain consistent vitamin K intake and consult their doctor.
Store unwashed kale in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper drawer for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, blanch and freeze for up to 6 months.
