Health Benefits of Kale Chips


Happy Friday to Everyone!

Kale chips have many health benefits, and are an excellent alternative to potato chips or corn chips, in particular when they are raw.

Here are some of the many benefits that kale chips have:

-         Kale Chips are extremely rich in nutrients:
Kale chips are loaded with a variety of important nutrients, such as vitamin K, vitamin A (as beta-carotene
) and vitamin C. Vitamin A is very important in protecting the cells, which line our intestines and our respiratory system. Vitamin A also supports our eyesight and strengthens our retina. Kale is a great source of carotenoids, which are needed for the retina. One cup of kale chips has more than 100% of our daily need of vitamin C, for supporting our immune system. Furthermore , they have over 500% of our daily need in vitamin K – vital for blood clotting and for improving bone density. Kale chips also contain vitamin E.

-         Kale Chips can help in managing our weight:
One cup of kale chips has about half the calories that regular chips or cookies have. If you replace calorie-loaded chips and snacks with raw and healthy kale chips, it will help in reducing and maintaining your weight.

-         Kale Chips support Cardiovascular Health:
Since Kale chips do not contain any cholesterol, no trans fats, nor any unhealthy saturated fats, they are very beneficial for a healthy heart.
