Kale is nothing short of a superfood! Not only is it brimming with vitamins K, A, and potassium, it also delivers a healthy hit of calcium, magnesium, and immune-boosting vitamin C.
You can use the leaves to make baked kale chips, which are a crunchy, nutritious snack. Best of all they are super easy to make.
