Kale is a super, nutritious green food.
That is one of the reasons why I grow kale in my organic garden.
This past summer I planted two varieties of kale – the curly purple kale and a long leaf green/blue kale. We enjoyed both but I do prefer the curly purple variety.
Kale is known to help protect the eyes as well as build and maintain healthy bones. It can be eaten raw or cooked.
To eat it raw, I either add it to my juicing along with other vegetables first thing in the morning, or I make dehydrated kale chips. It can be added to a salad or used to decorate a plate.
The dehydrated kale chips are a very viable substitute for regular chips, and provide a highly nutritious snack. They taste so good there’s usually none left for another day.
I’ve posted a recipe for kale chips as well as several other ideas on how to serve kale, at Healthy living examiner.com
This summer I intend to try yet a third variety of kale – the curly green variety. Variety is the spice of life.
Kale, hmmm?
Me and my girlfriend started our first very own garden last summer and I cannot wait until this summer to start one again!
Never would’ve thought it’d be so thrilling to see something we put into the ground grow, but the day we ate our green beans was amazing. I’m really excited to take my gardening skills to the next level, and next year maybe we’ll try kale.
I’m not sure where you are as I just happened to stumble upon your blog via the “What’s Hot” section, but is there any chance of kale growing in Michigan?
Thanks, I’ll be stopping in here and there, your blogs pretty interesting!
Yes you certainly should be able to grow kale in Michigan. Michigan Interactive website @ http://bit.ly/gGxBsr has some good advice on just that.
It sure is thrilling – the whole organic garden thing. I love it all…even the weeding. Just being out there watching my garden grow…the birds hanging out as if I’m just part of the scene. Harvesting and enjoying the harvest really tops it off.
Your blog is most interesting. I will be checking in.
Thanks for the connect and visiting.
