SALINAS, CA – Is BroccoLeaf™ the next kale? When it comes to innovative ideas, take a tip from Foxy Produce and the growing popularity of the company’s organic BroccoLeaf™ lettuce leaves. Not only does the item promote use of the entire plant, but it helps reduce waste as well. And it isn’t just us taking notice.
Last week on the award winning, nationally televised, “The Dr. Oz Show,” dieticians and nutritionists discussed the superfood vegetable’s nutritional benefits and versatility.
The Dr. Oz segment can be viewed below:
During the show’s Veg Election segment, the broccoli leaves were pitted against kohlrabi and dulse to determine which vegetable would be crowned “the Next Kale,” according to a press release.
Keri Glassman, celebrity dietician and registered nutritionist, showcased the health benefits of organic broccoli leaves dubbing broccoli leaves the “it veggie” as a favorite among foodies and nutritionists. Broccoli leaves are an excellent source of anti-oxidant vitamins A and C, and have great amounts of calcium to offer as well.
Dr. Oz, along with two audience members, tried the three vegetables, with broccoli leaves edging out the other two for having better flavor. Dr. Oz has opened up a poll on the show’s website as well for viewers to vote on which veggie they think will be “the Next Kale.”

I am an equal opportunity vegetable lover, but I will say there is something unique about BroccoLeaf™ and this new wave of produce offerings. Kohlrabi and dulse included!
