Kale: super food, super delicious

Kale is my new favorite food. Just look at all of the nutrients in these greens!
Nutients in Kale (% Daily value of 1 cup, boiled, 37 calories)
Vitamin K 1,372.6%
Vitamin A 192.4%
Vitamin C 88.8% (53.3 mg)
Manganese 26%
Dietary Fiber 10.4% (2.6g)
Calcium 9.4% (93.6 mg)
Protein (yes, protein) 5% (2.5g)

Nice, but let’s be real. Plain steamed kale tastes like foot. Never fear, a recipe from Vegan Dad’s blog turns these super greens into some of the most delicious tortillas I’ve ever made.
