Go green with Power Ranger soup
Get ready to embrace the goodness of the Brassica family and B-WELL Canola oil in a bowl of Green Power Ranger Soup.
There are few groups of power plants that can compare to the Brassica family, consisting mostly of leafy greens, cruciferous veggies and B-WELL Canola oil. Most are loaded with antioxidants, high levels of Vitamin C, A, E, K, calcium, iron, folate, potassium and phosphorus, as well as a power-packed phytonutrient, glucosinolates.
Glucosinolates have been shown to have anti-viral, antibiotic and anti-fungal activity in the body.
