Why it's on this list

Kale is another cruciferous vegetable, carrying vitamin K, lutein and a similar profile of plant compounds to broccoli and Brussels sprouts, along with meaningful fibre for its calorie count.

How to use it

Massaging raw kale with a little olive oil and lemon juice softens its texture and makes it easier to eat in larger amounts.
