National Kale Day

Today we celebrate the king
(Of vegetables, that is).
To see how smart you are, just try
To pass this little quiz.

How many calories does kale
Contain in just one cup?
The answer’s 33, so go on –
Gobble some right up.

Percentage that one cup provides
Of vitamins you need?
For C and A and K, more than
100*, guaranteed.

It lowers both cholesterol
And certain cancer risks.
It’s versatile, so add it
To your salads or your bisques.

I’m really not a health nut
But today I have to hail
What we all missed in our childhood days –
The miracle of kale!

*C=134%, K=684%, A=204%
