#4.  Kale

Until the end of the Middle Ages, Kale was one of the most common green vegetables in all of Europe.

According to some indications, the ancestors of modern Kale were already found in Greece around the fourth century. This green is actually closer to wild cabbage than to most domesticated forms of vegetables, but is considered to be more nutritious than most cabbages, wild or not. Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, and rich in calcium.

It also contains a chemical that has potent anti-cancer properties and boosts DNA repair in cells. Kale can be prepared in many ways, and its superfood qualities and high nutritional value are maintained more or less, whether you steam it, put it in a salad or fry it and serve as chips.
