It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's......

Quick Quiz – what food is full of fiber, grows just about anywhere, and packs a powerhouse of vitamins that promote health, fight cancer, lower cholesterol, and even promote longer life?

Have you guessed yet? Need more clues? Okay this food also has phytonutrients (there’s a hint here) like sulfurophane which helps your body detox and caroteoids which a Harvard study links to a person’s overall sense of optimism.

Still stumped? As if that isn’t enough, this food also contains copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus.  And then just to show off it also serves up omega 3’s, folate, and vitamin B6. But what it’s got all over other superfoods is 684% of the Vitamin K and 124% of the vitamin C you need in one serving. And then wait for it….that single serving has only 33 calories!
