Researchers at the University of Missouri report that pairing kale with oil-based dressings or specially designed nanoemulsion sauces significantly improves the bioaccessibility of its key carotenoid nutrients in a lab model of human digestion. Cooking kale alone does not enhance this process, but oil-containing dressings and advanced emulsified sauces appear to offer greater benefits, potentially informing new food products aimed at maximizing vegetable nutrition.
