Specifically, kale contains vitamins A, K, C, E, B1, B2, B3, B6 and minerals such as manganese, copper, calcium, fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, omega-3 fats, folate, etc. Kale also contains quercetin and kaempferol which are powerful antioxidants; these compounds defend cells from damage caused by harmful molecules. Some other amazing benefits include helping lower cholesterol, fighting cancer, and maintaining eyes health.

Here are some great ways to enjoy this tough green:
