gaining in popularity,
kale is an amazing vegetable
being recognized for its exceptional nutrient richness, health ben-
efits, and delicious flavor.
Eating a variety of natural, unprocessed vegetables can do
wonders for your health, but choosing super-nutritious kale
on a regular basis may provide significant health ben-
efits, including cancer protection and lowered cho-
lesterol.
Add kale to pasta sauce, smoothies, or soup.
Or try one of these methods:
Saute it: A splash of olive oil and a little onion
or garlic are all this veggie needs, and it cooks
up in minutes. The leaf is tougher than spinach
leaves, so it won’t wilt as quickly in the pan.
Make a kale salad: You can eat kale raw in a salad.
The leaves can stand up to heavy dressings. Whip up a home-
made mustard-based dressing that has all the thickness of Caesar
but fewer calories. Also, mixing a high quality Balsamic with a good
Italian Olive Oil combined with crushed fresh, organic garlic is a perfect
dressing. Make ahead and let it sit. The oil and vinegar will soak into the
leaves deliciously.
Bake kale chips: Bake lightly salted kale leaves 10-15 mins in a 350°oven with
just a little olive oil drizzled over. A delicious snack packed with vitamins and minerals.
