Does Kale have a lot of Iodine?

Question

Someone said that to me..

Answer 1

I am thinking the person said "kelp." All sea weeds have high iodine. 1/3 cup of kelp has 2114% of Daily value for iodine. (2114% isn't a typo). Kelp can be soaked in water and then pan fried until it's crisp like a flaky chip.
Kale is a dark leafy green that has calcium and, if memory serves, potassium.

Answer 2

Raw kale contains 1.4 mcg of iodine, see below:

"One caveat about kale. Kale does contain goitrogen, a naturally-occurring substance which can interfere with the functioning of the thyroid gland. Therefore, if you have thyroid problems, you might want to avoid kale. Also, while much research is suggesting the link between certain foods and disease prevention, it’s always a good idea to check with a medical professional if you have medical concerns or are starting a new diet regimen."
