The article “Why Does Kale Make You Gassy?” by Laurie L. Dove explores why kale, despite its status as a nutritious “superfood,” can cause digestive discomfort and excessive gas. Kale is rich in fiber, particularly insoluble fiber, which can be difficult for the digestive system to break down. This undigested fiber can ferment in the colon, leading to gas and bloating. Additionally, kale contains raffinose, a complex sugar that is hard to digest and can further contribute to gassiness. Eating large amounts of kale increases the likelihood of these digestive issues.
