Eating Kale for the first time!

For the first time, I have grown a few kale plants to see what they taste like. I found on the internet that kale is not offered very often in markets so many people don’t know how to prepare it. That included me, so I decided to follow what advice I could find and treat it like cabbage. To wit, I trimmed off the stalks and placed a handful of leaves in a steamer for about three minutes.

The kale was then buttered, salted and peppered and eaten. I had to place it into a microwave to finish it off, but will admit that the taste was pretty decent. If you like steamed greens then definitely try this plant.

I won't bother going into the nutritional aspect of this vegetable other than to say it is very healthy. Salute!
