Health Note: I haven’t met a raw foodist yet who doesn’t include kale in their top three favorite ingredients list. Because of its dense nutrient profile, I like to stick kale in everything from juices to smoothies to salads. It’s extremely high in bone–building vitamin k, antioxidants vitamin a and C, manganese and fiber, and is well regarded, along with other cruciferous vegetables, as an anticancer food. Its high sulfur content aids in the cellular detoxification process, which makes it the perfect cleansing food.
