Emily’s Nutrition Notes
Use Fresh Organic ingredients whenever possible. Baking the kale chips under 185 F keeps them raw so that the enzymes are kept intact for better digestibility. Soaking the nuts makes them easier to digest. Raw Kale is a goitrogen so if you have Hypothyroidism, I would suggest limiting these in your diet.
