    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...

    Yeah I know but science and learning!

    Unrelated but this is cute:

    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.

    I really think you need to work on shortening the title of your upcoming 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!

    In that case, dick pics for everyone!

    What did I walk into?

    I had a bumper crop the year before last so I learned to cook it. Maybe same-day home grown isn't as bitter. I found it to cook up just like spinach, only a little heartier. I modified a lot of spinach recipes.

    A neighbour, a recent immigrant from West Africa, took as much as I could give her. She used it in her cooking all the time and had a hard time finding it here.

    That's a waste of perfectly good garlic, olive oil, and red pepper.

    Okay, I can buy people hating on kale, but what are your feelings on roasted Brussels sprouts?

    Brussels Sprouts? You mean those little green bombs that taste like Farts smell?

    Yeah they can burn in the depths of Hell with Kale

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

    And it tastes nasty.

    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

    Yeah Kale did this.......I have my doubts on that

    Ditto.

    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.

    You just made it even worse.

    While my kale in bacon grease didn't get love I've got to say that however you eat it you need to put fat on it...butter, bacon grease, olive oil...whatever...both for pallitability and to help your bod use the fat soluable vitamins. This combo above would just give me terrible gas!

    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

    Bacon+Peep.jpg

    vs.

    fern-01.jpg

    I'm pretty sure that is a fern.

    Probably tastes like kale and watercress though.

    *sigh*

    I guess I should finish catching up before I post anything at all.

    Just a few more pages to go...er, I mean, 6. SIX PAGES?!? ON KALE?!?

    What is wrong with you people?

    Not my favorite but sometimes I get them in my CSA box. I found a recipe where you sautee with olive oil or butter and put a whole lot of smoked paprika in with it and onions, garlic. It was pretty darn good...but left to my own devices I typically stear clear of them.

    Nothing. This is exactly as MFP should be. And please catch up, jof. Kale = fern has already been proved.
