Eat more kale!

The beautiful leaves of the kale plant provide an earthy flavor and more nutritional value for fewer calories than almost any other food around. Kale is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the Brassica family, a group of vegetables including cabbage, collards and Brussels sprouts that have gained recent widespread attention due to their health promoting, sulfur-containing phytonutrients.

---- It is easy to grow and can grow in colder temperatures, where a light frost will produce especially sweet kale leaves.

---- To cook them, heat some olive oil in a pan, add sliced onions and chopped garlic and cook until onion softens. Cut kale into strips and add to pan, cover, and cook until kale just tender but still green. Season to taste.
