Health Winter Vegetables Already one serving of kale covers the complete vitamin C daily requirement
Kale is especially popular in Northern Germany during the cold season. The delicious winter vegetables are full of healthy plant substances that protect against diseases. Due to its high vitamin C content, kale can help to protect against colds in the wet-cold period.
Healthy local vegetables
Vitamin C intake in winter and autumn is particularly important because of the frequent colds caused by the wet and cold weather. Local vegetables such as cabbage can make an important contribution here. Varieties such as kale are just as healthy as exotic superfoods. Hardly any vegetables contain so many vitamins, minerals and trace elements in a balanced composition, reports the consumer information service aid.

"Kale is also known under the name Krauskohl, kale, winter cabbage or Oldenburger palm," writes the aid in an earlier release. The vegetables contain a lot of provitamin A, B vitamins, folic acid as well as vitamins C and E..
According to the experts, the content of vitamin C is so high that the daily requirement can be covered with just one serving. In addition, green kale - as well as other cabbage vegetables - contain healthy phytochemicals that have an antioxidant effect.
Moreover, it has been scientifically proven that kale has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces the risk of cancer. According to a study by the University of Oldenburg and Jacobs University in Bremen, this cabbage contains significantly more cancer-preventive substances than other varieties.
It does not always have to be peephole
Kale is traditionally boiled with sausage, bacon or Kasseler, but the vegetables are not only hearty, but also easy and delicious to prepare. For example in the form of a bright green kale sauce or as an exotic side dish.
The winter vegetables are delicious in the soup, in the casserole, as wok vegetables and as an accompaniment to fish and poultry. It is also possible to blanch the curly cabbage briefly in salted water and use it as salad extract, for example together with olives, nuts and dried tomatoes. (Ad)
