Now I Know why Kale...

There's a reason why KALE has done a stint as the new darling of the food world. Kale aligns in the same species that includes broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. And like many of them, it boasts a rich, green, earthy flavor. Kale is very high in calcium, beta carotene, vitamins K and C. It is also a source of lutein and contains sulforaphane (like broccoli) a chemical with powerful cancer-fighting properties. So here's a way to get more of the dark greens into your diet. When I've got the time, I remove kale from its rib, give them a good, cleansing rinse/soak and cook them down with a splash of vinegar and maybe a smoked turkey wing. Mmm, mmm good! But, sometimes I'm long on meals and short on prep time and need a fast solution. Kale is usually sold washed and bagged in the Produce Section or found coupled with Spinach in most pre-washed Power Greens salads. I make those washed greens do double- or even triple-duty as a base for hot and cold salads, skillet sauteed side dish with wilted onions and red pepper flake or even a raw handful in fruit smoothies with a little protein powder or tossed into hot soups. Do I like the taste and economy of this dark, green ruffly vegetable? Kale yeah! Such versatility makes it very easy to get my two cups of dark greens every day. Wink Watch for a new tip every day as we head toward our more fruit + veg lifestyle launch!
