Kale is an excellent source of beta-carotene and it’s high in Vitamins K, C & A, which help to prevent inflammation, joint pain and kidney stones. It’s also extremely alkaline and rich in chlorophyll (great for the skin!) High sulfur-containing phytonutrients help to support the body’s natural elimination and detoxification process. Raw Kale is high in enzymes and aids in digestion — plus it’s a great source of soluble fiber and iron.
