@thelab.link: You paid how much for that bag of kale? 👀 And walked right past dasheen leaves. Caribbean people — to the front of the class. 🥬🔫 Here's what's actually in that leaf 🔬 ☠️ Vitamin K — higher than 98% of ALL foods ☠️ Folate — higher than 97% of ALL foods ☠️ Vitamin C — higher than 96% of ALL foods 🍌 Potassium — outperforms a banana 💊 Vitamin A — 161% of your entire RDA in one serving Your grandmother's callaloo was a pharmaceutical operation. She just didn't have the lab coat. 🧬 The superfood industry put kale on a pedestal. Charged import prices. And never once told you that the leaf growing in Caribbean yards for centuries was more nutritious. We've been importing solutions to problems our own land already solved. 🔫 ⚠️ Important — dasheen leaves MUST be cooked. Raw leaves contain toxic oxalates that cause irritation and swelling. Boiling or pressure cooking deactivates them completely. High kidney stone risk? Limit intake even after cooking. Drop a 🥬 if callaloo raised you and you had no idea what was actually in it. How does your family make their callaloo? 👇🏾 🔬 Follow @thelab.link for Caribbean science they don't want you to connect. #dasheenleaves #callaloo #caribbeanfood #thelablink #taro
