Kale Crisps

Baobab, Sesame & Parsley

Kale is incredibly nutritious - full of vitamins especially vitamin k and c, loaded with minerals (super high in calcium) and is packed with anti-oxidants that help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and help improve the health of our heart. 

Using a dehydrator to make kale crisps is a great healthy alternative to deep fried food.  Using sesame seeds gives a nice creamy flavour, engevita gives a cheesy flavour and the optional superfoods give that extra dose of nutrition.
