Benefits of Kale
Kale is a superfood loaded in antioxidants. Including beta-carotene and vitamin C, as well as various flavonoids and polyphenols. Kale also has protein not as much has other protein rich vegetables but 1 cup of kale has 2.0g of protein compared to 8.6g in a cup of green peas.
Can You Eat Kale Raw?
Yes, like other leafy greens you can eat raw or cooked. Great in salads or smoothies. “Compared with raw kale, all cooking methods resulted in a significant reduction in total antioxidants and minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and magnesium” via Healthline.com
How To Store, Freeze & Reheat
Store in airtight container with lid in refrigerator. Kale leaves are hearty and normally massaged Kale would keep for ¾ days. However, this is a salad that has already been dressed and will only be good for ½ days maximum. Eat cold or at room temperature, do not heat or freeze.
