Kale
1.Introdoction
Kale is a popular vegetable, a member of the cabbage family ( Brassica oleacea).
Kale is also popularly known as “sakuma wiki”, a name that loosely translated means that it can sustain people throughout the week due to its extreme affordability, particularly for those who earn less money. It is, thus, the single most popular and available vegetable, especially in Kenya and Tanzania. Kale is very nutritious and rich in Vitamins ( A, B6, C, K) and minerals like Calcium, Manganese, Copper, Potassium and Magnesium. Kale contains very little fat, but a large portion of the fat in it is the omega-3 fatty acid called alpha linolenic acid.
