Question

Read the passage.
Like other dark leafy greens, kale and spinach are excellent choices for a well-balanced diet. While both vegetables are loaded with nutrients, each has distinct health benefits. For example, spinach has more vitamin A, an important nutrient for strong vision and growth. Kale, on the other hand, has more vitamin C, important for healthy skin, teeth, and bones.
Though they differ slightly in these characteristics, kale and spinach both promote heart health, and both are thought to be helpful allies in resisting illness. Often called "superfoods," spinach and kale are strong sources of protein, iron, and calcium. What's more, neither vegetable loses its nutritional quality when steamed, baked, or microwaved.
