Kale
Kale is a dark, leafy green you can eat raw or cooked.
This superfood has been on dinner plates since Roman times and has long been common across much of Europe. The vegetable hails from the cabbage family, which also includes broccoli, cauliflower, and collards. Kale can be curly or flat or even have a bluish tint mixed in with the green. The flavours differ, so try them all. Kale is more popular than ever, and it’s packed with vitamins and minerals
