Favorite smoothies of stars from kale cabbage: 5 recipes
Kale (kale) or curly cabbage continues to enter the lists of the most fashionable superfoods. MustHub tells us what this cabbage is really useful for, why celebrities love it so much and offers to try five delicious recipes!
Let's decide right away. Not everything is true that they say about kale cabbage — it does not have a super-record content of protein, calcium, magnesium and vitamins A, C, B. Of course, there are enough vitamins there, but other vegetables can boast of the same properties. Kale cabbage is good for a low-calorie diet — when you need to get a lot of useful substances with a minimum of calories.
This table shows that the content of vitamin K in cabbage is really high.
What you should really be careful with is the place where the vegetable is grown (by the way, there are family farms in Ukraine where you can find organically pure cabbage). Kale is able to absorb much more nitrates than other products. If, for example, a cucumber, you can clean and remove dirt (nitrates usually accumulate in the peel), then you can not do this with greens. Well, pesticides can be washed off with ordinary water-thoroughly washing the leaves. To finally make sure that the vegetable is clean, you can soak it in salted water.
