Kale

Kale is a superstar among green leafy vegetables. Kale, which is a rich source of calcium, does not contain oxalic acid. Oxalic acid interferes with the body’s absorption of calcium. Kale is a good source of lutein, which research has shown reduces the risk for developing cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Components in kale regulate estrogen levels and are thought to offer protection against hormone linked forms of breast cancer.
