    It has no vitamin D or B-12. It's also an incomplete protein.

    And it tastes nasty.

    I don't think OP meant to just eat kale by itself...it's a healthy addition. Also for flavor try Lacinato aka Dinosaur kale. It's much more mild and I like the consistency better anyway. And make sure you cook it in a good saturated fat so that your body can actually use all those fat soluable vitamins it packs.

    Prove me if I am wrong but I thought watercress was the most nutritionally sound vegetable. It tops kale in the ranks by at least 7.

    ALL HAIL WATERCRESS.

    Boo!! Hiss!! Oh wait, you're right. Anything's better than kale. You go, girl!

    But still--bacon & peeps > kale and watercress

    Isn't that a fern?


    Kale belongs in a trash can. Along with the quinoa.

    It might be, but I'm forced to ask, isn't kale a fern?

    From wiki:

    Kale:
    Kale or borecole (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered[1] to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of vegetables.

    The species Brassica oleracea contains a wide variety of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. The cultivar group Acephala also includes spring greens and collard greens, which are similar genetically. Pieris rapae is one of the best-known pests of the plant.

    Fern:
    A fern is a member of a group of roughly 12,000 species[3] of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular (i.e. having water-conducting vessels). They have stems and leaves, like other vascular plants. Most ferns have what are called fiddleheads that expand into fronds, which are each delicately divided.[4]

    Leptosporangiate ferns (sometimes called "true ferns") are by far the largest group, but ferns as defined here (ferns sensu lato) include horsetails, whisk ferns, marattioid ferns, and ophioglossoid ferns. This group may be referred to as monilophytes. The term pteridophyte traditionally refers to ferns plus a few other seedless vascular plants (see the classification section below), although some recent authors have used the term to refer strictly to the monilophytes.

    I'm gonna go with no but I'm not a biologist and my last biology class was in 2004. Plus I never learned the plant kingdoms either in 5th grade...

    I like you, but...

    Since developing the The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM), I've found so many awesome pics like this. There are some truly creative individuals out there. I discuss incorporating your artistic visions into your cleanse in my upcoming book The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM): Incorporating Your Artistic Visions Into Your Cleanses, Master Works Recreated With Peep Inspiration, A Coffeetable Book.

    You can appreciate big words, or you can have short book titles. You can't have both. @tincanonastring commands respect here. This is your last warning.

    If that's the case, I've completely failed all of my goals!

    You only fail if you give up. Back on the horse, pally! You can do it!

    Nooooooo!

    and you get a dick pic!

    Kale can cause/influence kidney stones.
    My Brother in law used to eat Kale a lot and has had to stop altogether because it caused him to get Some really nasty kidney stones. (Doctors orders/diagnosis) It was aweful.
    That's no reason to shun it. it is good. just don't be eating it everyday. once a week is plently

    Prove me if I am wrong but I thought watercress was the most nutritionally sound vegetable. It tops kale in the ranks by at least 7.

    ALL HAIL WATERCRESS.

    Boo!! Hiss!! Oh wait, you're right. Anything's better than kale. You go, girl!

    But still--bacon & peeps > kale and watercress

    Isn't that a fern?


    Kale belongs in a trash can. Along with the quinoa.

    It might be, but I'm forced to ask, isn't kale a fern?

    From wiki:

    Kale:
    Kale or borecole (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered[1] to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of vegetables.

    The species Brassica oleracea contains a wide variety of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. The cultivar group Acephala also includes spring greens and collard greens, which are similar genetically. Pieris rapae is one of the best-known pests of the plant.

    Fern:
    A fern is a member of a group of roughly 12,000 species[3] of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular (i.e. having water-conducting vessels). They have stems and leaves, like other vascular plants. Most ferns have what are called fiddleheads that expand into fronds, which are each delicately divided.[4]

    Leptosporangiate ferns (sometimes called "true ferns") are by far the largest group, but ferns as defined here (ferns sensu lato) include horsetails, whisk ferns, marattioid ferns, and ophioglossoid ferns. This group may be referred to as monilophytes. The term pteridophyte traditionally refers to ferns plus a few other seedless vascular plants (see the classification section below), although some recent authors have used the term to refer strictly to the monilophytes.

    I'm gonna go with no but I'm not a biologist and my last biology class was in 2004. Plus I never learned the plant kingdoms either in 5th grade...

    I like you, but...

    I've never tried kale, it looks nasty ...

    It's not nasty. People here clearly aren't eating it right…

    Here's a delicious recipe:

    1 bunch of kale
    1 small container of feta cheese
    1 cup of black olives
    1 can of chick peas
    1 small red onion, chopped
    1 medium cucumber, chopped
    2-3 tomatoes, diced

    I make a garlic olive oil based dressing to go with it.
