Kale is a great way to get plenty of vitamins and nutrients along with fiber. Most of us know this already, and most of us eat is already. Here are just a few more reasons why we should all have some kale in our diets. Raw kale is 72% carbs, 12% fats, and 16% proteins. One cup of uncooked kale has:
- 33 calories
- 6.7 grams carbs
- 1.3 grams dietary fiber
- More omega-3 fatty acids than omega-6
- 206% the daily recommended vitamin A
- 134% the daily recommended vitamin C
- 684% the daily recommended vitamin K
- 26% the daily recommended manganese
We try to add kale to as many things as possible. Baby kale is great in smoothies with strawberries, bananas, and spinach. Cooked kale is incredible with fish, salt, and garlic, and kale chips are one of the yummiest splurge treats ever!
