  • 3. Kale has become so popular and known as the “super veggie”.  It contains more nutrients than most foods! It is loaded with antioxidants and very high in Vitamin C and K!  It is also rich in beta-caratene which promotes cell replacement and may help with preventing wrinkles! Thats a super bonus!!
