A hardy, nutrient-dense leafy green with a robust, slightly bitter flavor. Kale holds up well to cooking and massaging, making it versatile for salads, smoothies, and sautéed dishes.
Massage raw kale with olive oil and lemon juice for 2-3 minutes to tenderize for salads. Remove tough stems before cooking. Bake into crispy kale chips at 300°F. Add to soups and stews in the last 10 minutes.
