About Product

We all remember growing up and hearing our mother tell us to eat our greens as we tried to hide them in our mashed potatoes or feed them to the dog under the table.

Truth be told, we didn’t know what we know now about the fantastic nourishment greens provide our bodies. Instinctively, our parents and grandparents knew it was good for us to eat.

Back then, it was peas and carrots or green beans found on the average American’s dinner table. Because we at Z Natural Foods believe in old-fashioned American values and that mothers always know what is best, we present an easy way to get all the quality nourishment from the super nutritious food, kale.

Our mission is to provide customers with great-tasting, highly functional foods with limitless application in their most versatile form to support a healthy, vibrant life. So, we introduce Z Natural Foods Organic Kale Powder.

Some research suggests that Kale may contain the following constituents:

Minerals: Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium
Vitamins: Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Choline, Betaine, Vitamin A (RAE), Beta carotene, Vitamin A (IU), Lutein & Zeaxanthin, Vitamin E, Vitamin K
Amino Acids: Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Cystine, Tyrosine, Valine, Arginine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Proline
Flavonols: Isorhamnetin, Myricetin, Quercetin
Phytochemicals: Sulforaphane, Indole-3-carbinol, Di-indolyl-methane (DIM)
