Kale became the superfood in the early 2000's. Every smoothie shop, every juice cafe, and every nutritionist added kale to their menu, why? Because it is amongst the most nutrient-dense foods. It has plenty of anti-oxidants and can help with cholesterol which reduces heart disease.
I make plenty of salads and smoothies adding kale because of this.
