What's up with Kale?

Everyone talks about Kale.. and weight loss.. and i just wondered what it is and what's the hype? Why is it so nutritious? And what does it taste like... anything to compare it to?

Kale is pretty yummy. I would say it tastes a little like spinach but it is thicker. I like to add Kale to soup, it tastes pretty good if you toss with olive oil and spices and bake it in oven... gets really crispy like a chip. I recently started adding it to my morning smoothy... it turns the drink really green and adds a little grassy taste, but not over powering at all. As for the nutrient part... I have not idea... HAHAHA! I just know its good for you!

I use it in smoothies and soup. I don't enjoy the taste of it alone. It has a lot of fiber,calcium,vitamins, and antioxidents.
I read somewhere that it was more nutritious than spinach,although I like spinach better
It is rougher and more bitter than spinach.

Kale is very nutrient dense (nutrients per calorie), more so than spinach, hence it getting much love from the health community.
