Black Kale – ‘Cavolo Nero’ was discovered in Tuscany and classed as a brassica vegetable. Kale is one of the most powerful antioxidant rich foods on earth! With major benefits for fighting against free radicals that we accumulate from everyday stress, pollution, and chemicals. It is extremely neuro-protective and fights against Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders. That is why I tell my clients to have this raw if they can. If you do have digestive issues and thyroid imbalances, I suggest you lightly cook, steam or fry it in extra virgin olive oil.
Kale is amazing for eliminating toxins out of the body, helping to eliminate excess hormones. Removing the toxins from the body is an important job. Toxins are destroyed first by antioxidants and then removed (detoxified) with glucosinolates, which are in cruciferous vegetables.
