“Vitamins and minerals in fresh food”
KALE
Kale and as I knew it Boerenkool, ( the farmer’s cabbage), is a fantastic supplier of some important vitamins and minerals. I would say the highest of all foods. See below. It is a common vegetable, but sometimes hard to get, unless you can shop at a market in a bigger town or city. in Australia.
Very high antioxidant value and a good supplier of carbohydrates and dietary fibre. If you can get it, eat Kale often, because you will do well. Mainly available in the winter months and it tastes sweet, when it has had some good frost on it, like cabbage and Brussels sprouts. As I mentioned under oranges, where the Universe made them grow and ripen during the winter for their vit C, Kale is even better in all departments of building up your immune system.
Vitamins: K, A, C, very, very high; B6, B2, B1, and B3 well represented.
Minerals: all high.
From the above you can see how valuable this vegetable is as the vitamins K, A and C, will supply our body with up to 600 times the daily need. Great stuff hey?
