Do you know which vegetable is known as one of the most nutritionally important vegetables in the world? If you guessed kale, you would be correct! Kale possesses the highest levels of lutein of all vegetables contained in the USDA’s database. With more nutritional value than spinach, it may help improve blood glucose control in diabetes, lower the risk of cancer, reduce blood pressure, and help prevent the development of asthma.

- 2 bunches of kale, rinsed and dried, ribs and stems removed, leaves thinly sliced crosswise
