Kale

Peak Season: Year-round

Perfect Pick: Dark blue-green color with moist, jaunty leaves. The smaller the leaves, the more tender the kale. Avoid wilted foliage with discolored spots.

Handle with Care: Peppery kale is best kept in the fridge tightly wrapped in a plastic bag pierced for aeration, where it will last for 3 to 4 days.

The Payoff: Lutein, an antioxidant in the retina that protects against vision loss.
