"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." --Hippocrates

I was asked the other day what the difference was between spinach and kale. Never really paid much attention to the difference but would alternate eating them in my diet. So I looked it up.

Kale

36 Calories

2.6g Fiber

2.5g Protein

93.6g Calcium

296.4mg Potassium

6% DV of Iron

Spinach

5.3g Protein

244.8g Calcium

838.8mg Potassium

36% DV of Iron

While they are both GOOD for you. I am all about getting the most from what I eat. I think kale is a little harder for my body to digest and thus expending more energy to process it. I think of nutrition the same way I look at life. You have to mix up your diet all the time. You need to eat a variety of foods, complete your diet with a balance of veggies and fruit, protein, carbohydrates and fats. You can eat your piece of cake and spinach too!
