Cavolo Nero, also known as Tuscan kale or dinosaur kale, is a dark leafy green vegetable originating from Italy, where it’s a staple in traditional Tuscan cuisine. Distinguished by its long, narrow, and deeply wrinkled leaves, Cavolo Nero boasts a slightly sweet and earthy flavor. It’s a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and potassium. Packed with antioxidants, this versatile green supports immune function, bone health, and heart health. It’s also an excellent source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety. Low in calories and naturally fat-free, Cavolo Nero is an ideal addition to a balanced diet. While it’s exceptionally healthy, individuals on blood-thinning medications should moderate their intake due to the high vitamin K content. Use it in soups, stews, or as a sautéed side dish to enjoy its robust flavor and dense nutrition.
