Mainly, it's a great source of vitamins A, C and K. It's also a very good source of manganese and iron.

Personally, I love it steamed and buttered (well, I guess that's actually vegetable spread...). I find it to be sweet, unlike cooked spinach.

Here's the article:
" Kale

The beautiful leaves of the kale plant provide an earthy flavor and more nutritional value for fewer calories than almost any other food around. Although it can be found in markets throughout the year, it is in season from the middle of winter through the beginning of spring when it has a sweeter taste and is more widely available.

Kale is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the Brassica family, a group of vegetables including cabbage, collards and Brussels sprouts that have gained recent widespread attention due to their health promoting, sulfur-containing phytonutrients. It is easy to grow and can grow in colder temperatures where a light frost will produce especially sweet kale leaves."

There is a full chart on the cited page.
