Kale

A historically renown health food making a comeback.

- Rich Carroll

There are some foods that have a long history of keeping people healthy throughout the ages, and one that falls into this category is that leafy vegetable known as kale. Its origins date back before the Greeks and Romans and is believed to be one off the earliest vegetables cultivated by man. By the end of the Middle Ages this vegetable related to cabbage was one of the most accepted foods grown in Europe. Throughout the dark days of the Second World War in the United Kingdom kale was partially responsible for keeping people healthy. It was very easy to produce, even in bad climate. But kale for many people in western societies fell out of favor over the years.
