Who's the KING of foods in Ireland?

​With so much about superfoods, what you should eat etc, I thought I’d look at what might be the healthiest food we have growing here in Ireland.  It was no surprise to me that it was KALE. It is so easy to grow kale here in Ireland as it is a fairly hardy plant that can weather our seasons.
 
Kale is packed with a high level of nutrients and fibre.  So what makes Kale the king of our homegrown foods?

• High in fibre – good gut health is the foundation of all health
• High in antioxidants 
• High in nutrients, especially – Calcium, Potassium, Vitamins C and K and Beta carotene
• Chlorophyll

 
So that means very little to most so what does it mean for you?
The above nutrients are key in helping to fend off common conditions such as:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Type II diabetes
• Reduces toxic load for those who are diabetic
• Binds to carcinogens and removes them from the body
• Improves the appearance of your skin and hair

 
There are a number of ways to add kale to your diet:

• Add to morning juice or smoothie
• Replace your spinach and other greens (half of the time) with kale
• Kale chips – these are roasted kale with herbs, spices and oil in the oven.

N.B. the main thing to remember when cooking with kale the king is to remove the stem to get rid of any string bits but leave those on if juicing, smoothieing or souping.
