#9: Kale

Kale is very similar to spinach, except it’s slightly more bitter. But that’s okay because it’s still delicious! For example, have you ever prepared kale chips at home? All you need to do is pop them into the oven for about 10 minutes, and you have one of the best-tasting treats you can imagine; sprinkle them with vinegar or baker’s yeast before cooking for some extra flavor.

Kale may be a bit more bitter than spinach, but it’s also got higher amounts of vitamins and minerals. Since kale is a leafy green and a cruciferous veggie, you know it’s jam-packed with essential nutrients. And it has health benefits you don’t find in many other health foods; for example, it’s good for bone health.
