Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kale, frozen, unprepared good for blood pressure?
Yes. Kale, frozen, unprepared provides 333mg of potassium per 100g (7% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 22.2.
Does Kale, frozen, unprepared boost immunity?
Yes. Kale, frozen, unprepared provides 39.3mg of vitamin C per 100g (44% DV) — one of the best food sources. Vitamin C supports white blood cell production, acts as an antioxidant, and strengthens skin barrier defense.
Does Kale, frozen, unprepared contain anti-nutrients?
Oxalates (spinach, beet greens, Swiss chard — bind calcium). Goitrogens (raw cruciferous — broccoli, kale, cabbage — can impair thyroid iodine uptake). Cooking cruciferous vegetables deactivates goitrogens. Pair high-oxalate greens with calcium-rich foods (they bind in gut, not kidneys). Avoid green potatoes. Only a concern with very high raw intake + iodine deficiency (for goitrogens) or kidney stone history (for oxalates).
