Try Organic green Kale at Bobs Market

OUR CUSTOMERS RAVE ABOUT IT.

Kale is a form of cabbage (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group), green or purple, in which the central leaves do not form a head.  Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium. Kale, and other brassicas, contains sulforaphane , a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties. Boiling decreases the level of sulforaphane; however, steaming, microwaving, or stir frying do not result in significant loss. Kale turns sweeter in cold weather, so it’s at its best from mid-fall through early spring.

CULINARY USES

Tender kale greens can provide an intense addition to salads, particularly when combined with other such strongly flavored ingredients as dry-roasted peanuts, tamari-roasted almonds, red pepper flakes, or an Asian-style dressing.

IMPORTANT

What to Look For?

Choose kale with firm, deep-green leaves, avoiding any that are wilted or have yellow spots.

How to Store it?

Keep kale in the coldest part of your refrigerator, loosely wrapped in a plastic bag. Though it seems like a sturdy vegetable, kale will quickly wilt and turn bitter.
