About Black kale

Black kale, also known as Tuscan kale, Lacinato kale, or dinosaur kale, is a dark leafy green known for its slightly sweeter and nutty flavor compared to regular kale. A staple in Italian cuisine, particularly in soups like ribollita, it features deep green, elongated leaves with a bumpy texture. Black kale is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. It's packed with antioxidants, including beta-carotene and flavonoids, which may support immune health and reduce inflammation. High in fiber, it promotes digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Low-calorie and fat-free, black kale is excellent for heart health and weight management. However, individuals taking blood-thinning medications should moderate their intake due to its high vitamin K content. Versatile and nutritious, black kale brings both flavor and health benefits to a wide variety of dishes.
