Description

Organic Kale (2 amy hf or 1/2 lb.) 

Kale (/kl/), or leaf cabbage, belongs to a group of cabbage (Brassica oleraceacultivars grown for their edible leaves, although some are used as ornamentals. Kale plants have green or purple leaves, and the central leaves do not form a head (as with headed cabbage)

Kale is a source of the carotenoidslutein and zeaxanthin (tables).[16] As with broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, kale contains glucosinolate compounds, such as glucoraphanin, which contributes to the formation of sulforaphane,[17] a compound under preliminary research for its potential to affect human health.[18]

We prefer to saute in ghee for most nutritional value.

    The best kale ever! We eat kale or spinach in salads often and this kale is so good! I even cooked some with eggs one morning. No chemicals!!
