Kale is a curly-leaved cultivar in the cabbage family. It has all the benefits of a cruciferous vegetable, and is also very high in vitamin K (good for your blood and bone strength) and high in lutein (good for your eyes), calcium (also for bone strength), and vitamins A and C. Cashews add a nutty flavor and crunchiness to complement the kale.
