Hail to kale, it's as good as – if not better than – broccoli, yet it doesn't get the accolade it deserves; so let's give it some!
Kale is a health-boosting prodigy of the brassica family. All kale varieties – curly, ornamental and dinosaur (yes, really!) – look great on the plate, but it is more than just a pretty vegetable. Kale is packed with cancer-fighting phytonutrients, particularly those that protect against breast and ovarian cancer. It’s also rich in beta-carotene, which helps prevent skin diseases, has 10 times more lutein (which protects the eyes) of fellow brassica member broccoli, and contains magnesium, calcium and vitamins A, B6 and K. What’s more, kale loves a good frost: the colder it gets, the sweeter the leaves which is why, in the UK, the kale season is September-March.
