Each year there is a new marketing buzz word that is trending. For the past few years it has been words like organic, skinny, and zero. Although recently, there has been a lot of hype about Kale. Many are eating it because of all of the benefits of getting it in an organic form and having only three calories.
The August issue of People Magazine, featured several quotes of what celebrities had to say about the dark green and curly veggie. Model, Holly Madison said, "I love kale. It makes me poop." Whereas, Actress, Julia Stiles said, "I can't get enough of kale, I crave it."
The SFG's agree with both of these quotes. Not to be disgusting today, but kale is sweet and contains beta-carotene and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin—which are associated with eye health—as well as potassium, vitamins A and C, fiber, iron and calcium. Plus, there are two grams of protein in a serving. So of course, you have no choice, but to poop. In addition, depending on how you prepare it, there is a chance that you will ultimately be addicted.
Earlier this year, the SFG's were having a discussion about Kale. Jessica was adamant about not liking the taste and texture of it, and now after having it prepared several different ways, she is now in love with it! Believe it or not, but there are over 50 kale recipes. Some include spaghetti and kale, garlic kale, kale slaw, and the oh so easy kale chips.
