Nordic For You – Dried Kale – 25 g

N4Y Dried Kale

Did you know that dried kale and kale chips are the new superfood? In fact, Kale is getting so much press these days, that what used to cost less than a head of cabbage is now more costly than winter lettuce.

Kale is a cruciferous vegetable that belongs to the mustard family, which also includes broccoli and Brussels sprouts, but it is most closely related to cabbage. Its leaves, like cabbage's, are very tough, and it can withstand extreme temperatures—hot and cold—while growing. That translates very well in the kitchen: with kale, you can eat your leafy greens all year, which may be part of the reason it's so popular.

Another reason kale is so popular is that it is low in carbohydrates and calories. Another great reason to incorporate it into your meal plans is that it is extremely nutrient-dense. That is, it contains vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates, and fiber.
