Considered a real superfood for the colder months of the year, kale or black kale is a vegetable rich in minerals and vitamins, many of which have antioxidant properties.<\/p>

Furthermore, significant doses of flavonoids and other plant molecules allied to health are also hidden inside. Let’s find out what its characteristics are.<\/p>

NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES OF BLACK CABBAGE<\/strong><\/p>

Black cabbage is an excellent source of molecules with antioxidant activity; in fact, it contains vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E.
But that’s not all: kale is also a source of B vitamins and folic acid. The latter, important for the synthesis of DNA and for the production of red blood cells, is essential during pregnancy for the correct development of the baby’s nervous system. Its mineral content is also interesting. In particular, black cabbage is a source of calcium (which together with the vitamin K present in kale – already precious for blood clotting – helps protect bones), zinc (useful for the proper functioning of the immune defenses) and iron (essential to transport oxygen in the blood). The good reasons for bringing black cabbage to the table go beyond its micronutrients. Indeed; kale is also a source of kaempferol, quercetin and isoramnetina, molecules belonging to the flavonoid class.<\/p>

The first two are known as powerful antioxidants; both are considered allies against cardiovascular problems and cancers.<\/p>

On the other hand, isoramnetina is a vasodilator; for this reason it is thought that it can in turn help protect the cardiovascular system. Finally, all three of these flavonoids have been associated with anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>

Other noteworthy compounds that can be obtained from eating black cabbage are glucosinolates, molecules that have been associated with anticancer properties. However, not all varieties are equally rich in it.<\/p>

Finally, we must not forget that black cabbage is also a source of significant quantities of fiber, known allies of health, and for all these reasons, including black cabbage in your diet helps to improve its quality from a nutritional point of view.<\/p>
