Lacinato Kale, often called "dinosaur kale" for its textured, ridged leaves, is a nutrient-dense dark leafy green originating from Italy, where it’s a staple in Tuscan cuisine. Its slightly earthy, nutty flavor makes it a versatile choice for soups, salads, and sautés. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, Lacinato Kale supports immune health, vision, and blood clotting. It's also rich in fiber, which aids digestion, and contains antioxidants like beta-carotene, promoting cellular health. Additionally, its mineral content—calcium, potassium, and magnesium—supports bone strength and heart function. Low in calories yet high in nutrients, this kale is excellent for weight management and overall wellness. However, as with other cruciferous vegetables, excessive consumption may interfere with thyroid function in individuals sensitive to goitrogens. Eaten in moderation, Lacinato Kale is a powerhouse addition to a balanced and nutritious diet.
