Kale

Kale
KaleWhat: A cruciferous vegetable with green or purple leaves close to wild cabbage. Why we love it: High in fiber, with cholesterol-lowering and detoxifying abilities, plus 45 flavonoids (aka antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits). How to eat it: Steamed, sauteed, or raw. If the effort's too much, then Tartine cafe in NYC offers a mouthwatering warm kale salad with pine nuts, butternut squash, and Parmesan. Celebrity fans: Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon, Heidi Klum, Gwyneth Paltrow. [Photo via]
