Additionally, this super green contains vast amount of vitamin K, fiber, calcium as well as other nutrients. Surprisingly, kale contains omega-3 fats, which help contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects. This green is so potent in terms of nutrition and is important to include in our regular diets.
Kale has especially powerful cholesterol lowering effects when steamed, although kale has just as many benefits when eaten raw. Raw kale goes great in a salad tossed with pine nuts, red bell pepper and a garlic dressing. (I like to make my own dressing using 1 part olive oil, 1 part toasted sesame oil, 1 part Bragg’s Liquid Amino Acid, and as much minced raw garlic as I can find!). You can also replace the bell pepper with pomegranate seeds, and use a balsamic vinaigrette.
