ORGANIC KALE

It is a member of the mustard, or Brassicaceae, family, as are cabbage and Brussels sprouts.

Possible benefits include helping manage blood pressure, boosting digestive health, and protecting against cancer and type 2 diabetes.

This article looks at the nutritional content and health benefits of kale, how to include it in the diet, and reasons why some people should not eat too much of it.

Kale contains fiber, antioxidants, calcium, vitamins C and K, iron, and a wide range of other nutrients that can help prevent various health problems.

Antioxidants help the body remove unwanted toxins that result from natural processes and environmental pressures.

These toxins, known as free radicals, are unstable molecules. If too many build up in the body, they can lead to cell damage. This may result in health problems such as inflammation and diseases. Experts believe that free radicals may play a role in the development of cancer, for example.
