(Kale\u2019s iron content is particularly impressive\u2014and important\u2014given the common misconception that we can only get this key oxygen-transporting mineral from meat.)<\/p>\n<p>Make a supercharged salad by topping chopped kale with berries and seeds, toss the green into smoothies, or saut\u00e9 it into omelets, suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouristate.edu\/bms\/natalieallen.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Natalie Allen<\/a>, M.S., R.D., L.D., a clinical instructor of dietetics at Missouri State University.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18589\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/best-superfoods\/cocoa\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"cocoa\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18589 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1\" alt width=\"740\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18589\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/best-superfoods\/cocoa\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"cocoa\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18589 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"1484\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/cocoa.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4.
