Vegan Salads
Raw Kale Salad (Serving 1)
With kale being the main ingredients in this delicious raw salad, I think I should speak about its health benefits and those include the following:
- Cholesterol lowering properties within its fibrous components.
- Lowering the risk of developing bladder, breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancers because it contains isothiocyanates (ITCs) that is produced by the glucosinolates within it.
- Helps regulate the body’s detoxification process.
- The 45 different flavonoids within it makeup, it provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
