    I LOVE kale! We always plant way more than we could ever use and have discovered freezing it. It's awesome to toss into soups and other meals.

    I don't know, those vitamin A levels sound dangerous.

    Nope. And for the record, one doesn't get "extra credit" once micro nutrients are met. Like above poster, give me spinach instead.

    Calorie for calorie, spinach has more nutrients anyway.

    Not a fan of kale. Tried to make myself like it because of all the craze, but just cant. Too bitter. I like Spinach and Swiss Chard better

    I love kale. It's so versatile and easy to grow year round. It's my second favorite green. Collards are my first love.

    Put 'em all in a blender and chug it down.

    Nope

    It's just greens

    Used to be cheap cattle fodder until it was picked up as a "superfood"

    I mean, they're good. But I love all greens. I don't think kale is particularly special. I think I like mustard greens more, actually.

    So what? If we never ate food that animals eat we'd starve.

    I could take it or leave it. Like others, I'm on the spinach band wagon.

    I think the point is that the price in many areas has exploded since it's been touted as a "superfood."

    I was pointing out the media promoted "superfoods" and incremental profit margin and not saying animals eat it so we shouldn't

    But I think you knew that :)

    OIC, yeah that is true and unfortunate. But it's so easy and cheap to grow your own. It grows easily in a container, even inside.

    No, I didn't. If that was the only point I don't understand the remark about cattle. Popularity drives price on everything.
