Have you tried beet greens?!? Clean off the dirt and they taste like dust. Packed full of stuff. What stuff?!? IDK, but it has stuff.mean_and_lean wrote: »
I was eating kale decades before I ever heard the word "superfood". It's not a new crop, ya know.
More food choices then when I was growing up. superfood lists are great to garner interest, sell magazines, but I would need to make kale chips to eat it regularly. Tried it in smoothies and just wasn't my bag. Spinach is my friend. Kale for some reason is the red headed step child. Let me oil it, bake it, then maybe.

If you had said you were going to make a smoothie using kale when I was growing up people would have thought you were crazy (or, as my grandma used to say, "tetched in the head") Right after they asked "What is a smoothie ?" :laugh:0 -
I do not kale. Or spinach. (psst, vegetable names are not verbs.)
Broccoli is good though

I kale but only because we get one of those organic farmboxes and sometimes it has kale in it. I like to saute it with red onion and mushroom with a little garlic olive oil.0

No kale for me. Tried it numerous ways, still don't like it. I'll stick to spinach, raw by preference, in spanakopita if not.0

True. Not sure anyone is speaking or chanting around the grass fed/non-grass fed cattle I consume.

We got an enormous bag this week in our box, I swear it is half a metre long. It's taking up half the fridge.0 -
We have a break til Spring but last year they unloaded squash for 2 weeks. I was actually tired of roasting it for soups. And, I don't like squashing greens to get them to fit in the fridge. Sounds like you'll be having some for the next few days._Terrapin_ wrote: »

I love all green veggies, especially the leafy greens, including kale. But, I've always said that if I were a vegetable, I would be spinach.
Now, fruit is another story. It all tastes too sweet to me so I use them in green smoothies with lots of greens so I can stand them. Except blueberries. Blueberries are glorious on their own.0 -

Spinach and arugula for me - but this thread is inspiring me to buy kale again.0

This whole thread is full of sadness.

I like kale raw not a big fan of kale chips though0
-
maaan i hate raw kale. Its so chewy i feel like a cow munching on grass. I do love it in soups and kale chips.. both rarely make.. and yet i still buy it every damn week.0

I like kohlrabi greens though. Used to throw them out and just eat the bulb and then realized what a waste that was.
Yeah, agreed. I'm also much better about eating beet greens, which are delicious.
I like most greens, don't have a favorite, try to vary them.
Am really into collards, even though apparently WF has been mocked for promoting them (I liked them years ago, but did discover them at WF+reading about NY traditions, so feel defensive).0 -

So do we. Where do these people live who get deliveries now?
And yeah, we had bad weather this summer so every message from my farm was about how terrible things were, but in autumn and early winter we got crazy amount of winter squash and root veg I am still dealing with (used the kale, mostly in omelets).0 -

Kale, like brussel sprouts, broccoli and many of the other Brassica oleracea species have a concentration of various protective chemicals that taste bitter to some. Hence the love/hate relationship.
I prefer brussel sprouts and broccoli.0 -
