KALE?
I have never eaten kale, have you?
I just found this and thinking of trying it.
Kale: Super Food!
Nourishing your family's health and growing appetite are probably among your highest priorities. You can satisfy both priorities with kale, the super food that should be on everyone's grocery list. Kale is called a "super food" because it packs more nutrition per calorie than almost any other food. Unfortunately many people haven't a clue how to prepare the stuff usually seen only as garnish beside the onion rings.
Follow these simple instructions for delicious, tender, steamed kale:
1. Select dark green crisp leaves.
2. Wash kale in cold water to remove sand or dirt.
3. Fold the kale in half, lengthwise, hold the base of the stem and rip the leaves from the stem.
4. Chop leaves and add to a steamer basket and place in a pan of boiling water, filled just to the base of the basket, and cover.
5. Steam for about 4-5 minutes, then check for tenderness.
6. Kale cools rapidly, so enjoy immediately.
You can eat it plain, spritz it with soy sauce, sauté it with garlic and olive oil, or toss it into soups. Use it in place of cooked spinach in your favorite recipes.
Even kids like kale--especially if you start them on it young. Prepare as directed, then mince very finely. Serve it plain or mix it with some whole wheat pasta and they'll gobble it right up. If that doesn't work, try tossing it into their favorite soup.
