The great return of a forgotten vegetable
Cabbage kale (pronounced "kayle") is an old variety of wild cabbage. It has curly and fibrous leaves that can measure several tens of centimeters. We know the cabbage kale under the names of cabbage feather, cabbage borécole, cabbage with lalin or cabbage with cow. Popularized by the Americans, this forgotten vegetable comes back today on the stalls, and it is all the better, given its nutritional richness!
A cabb like no other!
Cabbage kale has many properties. Here are its main virtues on our body.

Cabbage kale provides only 50 calories per 100 g. Rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, it slows down the arrival of glucose in the blood and thus prevents blood glucose peaks.

Minerals and vitamins in quantity
It is very rich in minerals and trace elements, especially magnesium and potassium. As for vitamins, it is very well equipped with vitamins C and A. Consuming 100 g of cabbage kale makes it possible to cover 150% of its needs in vitamin C for one day.
