I have homegrown Kale coming out my ears... :) Have been using it by sauteeing with other veggies and raw in salads. Would like some other ideas


Especially interested in smoothie recipes using kale

    A friend of mine, who's an integrative medical nutritionist (or something like that) gave me this idea and it works out pretty well.

    Coat hands in oil (or salt) and just massage the kale leaves to create a bit of abrasion. This coats the leaves with additional flavor and breaks open the veins to allow better bioavailability of the micronutrients inside the plant. It also dulls the bitterness of the kale.

    I do it with olive oil.

    Have you done the salad thing with braggs aminos yet? Add that and some olive oil with red onion and pepitas. It's one of my faves.

    Also, if you have tried it yet sauteed with yam is really good. I have also sauteed it with tofu, garlic, onions and mushrooms and add in a tablespoon of peanut butter and a little soy.

    Try adding it to your fave smoothie recipe as well.
