Are Kale chips actually good for you?
Baking kale in the oven until they are crisp, this method of cooking retains all nutritional value of the kale, creating a low-calorie, nutrition-dense snack.
What are the benefits of eating kale chips?
- Weight management: Kale chips are a great substitution for other high calories snacks. With ghee butter, it can jump-start your digestive system and reduce inflammation.
- Supports eye health: One cup of kale contains 206 percent of your vitamin A needs in the form of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene combined with other nutrients helps reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration.
- Vitamins and minerals rich: Kale is packed with iron, potassium, vitamin A, C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and vitamin K.
Why Ghee butter?
- Ghee has a high smoke point of 450F. Because a vast majority of high smoke point oil such as peanut oil, soybean oil, corn oil, and canola oil is genetically modified cooking oil, they are not healthy for consumption. In many kale chips recipes, olive oil is being used, but olive oil should not be used for cooking and should only be used to add after cooking in dressing or sauces. Many fats change their fatty acid structure when heated and become unhealthy.
- Better than butter. Ghee has a unique nutrition profile without any lactose or casein. For people who are lactose or casein sensitive, they can use ghee because the process has removed these allergens.
