It’s easy to make, quick 10 minutes, 4 ingredients and a delicious side dish. So much plus points that will motivate you to make this vegan side dish very often. More than anything this is a healthy gluten-free, low carb recipe.
More about Kale Nutritional Value
This dark green leafy vegetable is a superfood in fact. This cruciferous vegetable hails from the cabbage family, like broccoli, cauliflower, and collard greens. Also, kale is zero in carb and packed with other vitamins and minerals which makes this a superfood.
Kale is a perfect leafy vegetable for any diet and especially for the keto diet as this is zero carb veggie and also has fewer calories. This is rich in protein and fiber content along with vitamin-A, C, and K. It has more vitamin C than that of a whole orange.
Kale contains very little fat, but a large portion of the fat in it is an omega-3 fatty acid called alpha-linolenic acid. This leafy vegetable is rich in antioxidants. Vitamin C also works as an antioxidant along with beta-carotene, polyphenols, and flavonoids.
Health Benefits of Kale
Kale is a nutrient-rich cruciferous vegetable that helps the intake of nutrition (vitamins and minerals) by our body and keeps us healthy.
High antioxidants keep our immunity system strong by fighting with free radicals. Free radicals are caused by the body and by environmental pollutants. The antioxidants inhibit oxidative damage to our body caused by free radicals.
Kale actually contains bile acid sequestrants, which lowers cholesterol levels. This might lead to a reduced risk of heart disease over time. Research has found, drinking kale juice every day may increase good cholesterol and decrease bad cholesterol. Steamed kale is found more effective in this process.
Kale is one of the best sources of vitamin K. A single raw cup of Kale contains almost 7 times the recommended daily amount. This vitamin k has anticoagulant properties that helps in blood clotting. It also helps in protecting heart disease and osteoporosis.
There are many more health benefits of kale leaves. I will share a separate post on the nutrition and health benefits of Kale.
