Did you know?
Kale was once used mainly for decoration, but has become a popular superfood in recent years due to its health benefits.
- Kale’s origins trace back to Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) and the eastern Mediterranean region, where it was cultivated over 2,000 years ago by ancient Greeks and Romans.
Kale is a close relative of cabbage, collard greens, and broccoli, all of which belong to the same plant family.
The name kale is derived from the Scots word “kail,” meaning “cabbage.”
Kale contains more vitamin C than an orange per 100 grams, making it an excellent immune booster.
Drawback
Kale contains goitrogens, substances that can interfere with thyroid function if eaten in excessive amounts, especially when raw.
The high fiber content may cause digestive discomfort such as bloating or gas if not consumed gradually.
Kale can also be high in oxalates, which can interfere with calcium absorption and contribute to kidney stone formation in some individuals when eaten in large quantities.
