Hello Friends! Today I thought I would share my love for Kale. This green is a powerhouse of nutrition (for more info please read this article), helping to boost immunity and heart health. It contains powerful antioxidents/carotenoids, calcium, maganese, Vitamin C, plant protein, and the list goes on...
I don't believe that kale is difficult to grow, either. Like swiss chard, it is a pretty green to see sprouting from Mother Earth...
Since joining our CSA a year ago, I have been in love with this leafy green. Yes, it has a somewhat strong flavor, but it will grow on you, believe me! :)
I like raw kale, but it can also be cooked into kale chips as well as incorporated into soups and other dishes.
Recently, I posted a recipe for Kale and Potato Casserole...
I also love Kale Salad, especially during the summer...
Most recently I have begun experimenting with kale in smoothies. The drink pictured below was a combination of citrus, frozen banana and about 3 kale leaves. It tasted great!
