SALINAS, CA – The case for organic BroccoLeaf™ to be crowned the “Next Kale” was made last week on the award winning “The Dr. Oz Show,” as dieticians and nutritionists discussed the superfood vegetable’s nutritional benefits and versatility to a nationwide television audience.
In the show’s Veg Election segment, broccoli leave was pitted against kohlrabi and dulse to determine which vegetable would earn the right to be called “the Next Kale.” Noted celebrity dietician and registered nutritionist Keri Glassman highlighted the health benefits of organic broccoli leaves and called the product the “it veggie” among foodies and nutritionists. She touted broccoli leaves as an excellent source of anti-oxidant vitamins A and C, having twice as much calcium and a sweeter taste than kale.
Two members of the studio audience, along with host Dr. Oz, sampled the three vegetables, with broccoli leaves easily besting the other two for having better taste and flavor. Additionally Dr. Oz opened up a poll on the show’s website for viewers to vote on which vegetable they think will be “the Next Kale.” Consumers can vote and view the results online at: http://www.doctoroz.com/article/poll-whats-next-kale
