It just needs one small
seed to grow this entire
plant.
Although it is not a lettuce,
kale grows in a similar way.
Kale is fresh year round because it
can handle cold temperatures,
while many other crops cannot.
Kale is a member of the brassica
family which includes collard
greens, brussels sprouts,
cauliflower and broccoli
Let’s do a 1 cup
comparison to see why…
• Packed with
antioxidants to keep
you healthy.
•The darker in color
it is, the better it is
for you!
Compared to one cup of iceberg lettuce
kale has…
30 times the amount of Vitamin A.
40 times the amount of Vitamin C.
32 times the amount of Vitamin K
It also has more calcium
So be open-minded, healthy and try some kale on April 20th!!
The Kale was grown by these
farmers at Growing Washington,
a collective of farms throughout
our county and state!
