Kale is a type of leafy green vegetable that's super good for you.

You probably know kale from salads or smoothies - it's one of those trendy foods everyone's talking about. But kale has been around for ages, and it's actually a lot more versatile than just being chopped up in a salad. You can sauté it as a side dish, add it to soups, or even use it in place of spinach in pasta sauces. Some people like to roast kale in the oven until crispy - it makes a great snack! Kale is also really nutritious, so many health food stores sell pre-washed bunches of it.
