Aojiru is Kale Juice


Aojiru is Kale juice, "the miracle green". Kale is a kind of cabbage that grows on a tree and is perhaps the most nutritious plant ever found, rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, and K. The name Aojiru comes from Ao (green in Japanese) and Jiru (which means juice). Dr.Niro used Kale to treat his own son and the nutritionally deprived after World War II. His son took up the work and popularized the drink. Today there are over 150 companies marketing Aojiru. Research has linked drinking Aojiru to many types of health recoveries. It has a strong bitter taste (Yuck). I prefer to eat it frozen while it is still rather tasteless. Benefits? Maybe fewer colds and possibly more energy.
