Kale has undergone a serious image overhaul in recent years. It has evolved from being a decoration in salad bars and seafood display cases to being perhaps the most popular superfood.
By now, you must have tasted – kale smoothies, salads, and chips… and most likely paid a ridiculous amount for it! 😛 Kale is one of those things where you either love it or hate it, but everyone seems to agree that we should all be eating more of it. Tip – if you find it bitter, try de-stemming it.
Best part about this wondrous leafy green… kale grows year round almost everywhere 🙂
