Patients suffering from gastric ulcers are advised to take a lot of observation in their diet. They are warned against several foods, most of them being acidic. Kales, commonly known as Sukuma wiki, are among the foods they should eat in moderation. But the biggest question is, how can one survive without kales? And the answer is no way. That answer is attributed to the fact that Sukuma wiki is the most available and the cheapest among all greens. In terms of health, it has a myriad of health benefits ranging from provision of fibers to protection through vitamins A and C.
There are kales specifically engineered for people with ulcers, though as a consumer, you may just buy anything you meet in the market. Whichever way, any Sukuma wiki can be prepared in such a manner that even patients suffering from ulcers eat it without any secondary side effects presently, or in the future.
