According to the USDA, eating green leafy vegetables may lower the risk of stomach, breast and skin cancer. They recommend two or three servings of leafy green vegetables per week. Most Americans fall short of these recommendations. Use kale to get more leafy greens in your diet.

The word “kale” is derived from Greek and Roman words that mean “cabbage.” That’s right! Kale belongs in the cabbage family along with cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and other leafy green vegetables. It is a versatile veggie to use in stir-fries, salads, soups, smoothies and so much more!

Next time you are at the grocery store, pick up some kale and give it a try. Most of the time you’ll find green kale. Some stores may carry white, purple or blueish-green kale. No matter the color you choose, look for dark-colored, small to medium-sized leaves. It will last two to three days in your refrigerator.
