About Couve
Couve, commonly known as kale or collard greens, is a nutrient-packed leafy green vegetable prominent in Brazilian cuisine. A key ingredient in dishes like feijoada and couve à mineira, it originates from the Brassica oleracea species and has ties to European and African culinary traditions. Couve is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and potassium, supporting bone health, immunity, and digestion. It’s also abundant in antioxidants and fiber, making it excellent for heart health and weight management. Low in calories but high in nutrients, it’s a versatile superfood that can be steamed, sautéed, or eaten raw. While the greens themselves are very healthy, some preparations, such as frying in oil, may increase calorie content or saturated fat. Overall, couve is a staple that brings both nutritional benefits and robust flavors to the table.
