Kale, glorious kale!

Do you remember a humble vegetable ever getting as much good press as kale has over the past few years? I don’t think so..

Everyone’s still loving the lean, mean, leafy green kale goodness and we’re desperate to get more of it into our diets and with good reason! Jam-packed full of iron and fibre, it isn’t hard to see why this super veg is still a firm favourite of food writers and health aficionados alike. It’s versatile, full of essential vitamins and can be really quite tasty. It’s filling whilst being low in calories and certainly packs a nutritious punch.
