Kale chips are a great alternative to potato chips. Health benefits below. Recipe: Bake at 350 degrees Place raw kale in a big bowl, pour your favourite oil over the top, sprinkle salt to taste.

From WebMD: Kale is a Nutritional Powerhouse One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus.

Carotenoids and flavonoids are the specific types of antioxidants associated with many of the anti-cancer health benefits.
