Earthbound Farm Organic Mixed Baby Kales are an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C and manganese, and a good source of calcium, copper, vitamin B6 and potassium.

Kale is part of the cruciferous family of vegetables, which makes it rich in a unique antioxidant that, when consumed as part of a healthy diet, may play a role in reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases.

This leafy green is also one of the richest sources of lutein, an antioxidant shown to promote eye health.

Kale is a great choice for people who avoid dairy products; it contains 12% of the Daily Value for calcium, which plays a role in bone and teeth health. To maximize your nutrient intake, try mixing up different green leafy vegetables that contain both vitamin C and iron, such as kale and spinach, as vitamin C helps the body better absorb plant-based iron.

Choosing organically grown kale is a smart and effective way to reduce exposure to pesticide residues, as the Environmental Working Group ranks conventionally grown kale high on their list of vegetables most commonly found with pesticide residues.
