Harvesting Picking cleaning and cooking KALE!

Kale offers numerous benefits for both cultivation and consumption. Growing kale is rewarding due to its hardiness and adaptability, providing fresh, nutrient-dense greens year-round with minimal maintenance. I have my Kale growing from a container on my roof deck.  Even after a month of neglect its grown tremendously and ready to harvest.  I pick a big bunch of Kale ready to eat! When eaten, kale delivers a powerhouse of vitamins (A, C, K) and minerals (calcium, potassium) that support heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure.  Its high fiber content aids digestion and bowel regularity, while antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin protect eye health; and it tastes delicious, crispy, nutty and sweet in flavor; rich in vitamin K and calcium, it strengthens bones,, and its low calorie count makes it ideal for weight management. Additionally, kale contains cancer-protective compounds like sulforaphane and supports immune function through vitamins C and E. I walk you through how I harvest before bolting (aka flowering) and how to clean and cook or eat raw.  Enjoy Kale and Life!
