What is kale ?

Kale is an archaic type of cabbage that grows loosely furled leaves, rather than forming a head. The leaves of kale have a distinctive ruffly appearance that distinguishes the plant from a close relative, collard greens. Kale tends to be a little bit bitter in flavor, although this bitterness is tempered by washing, cooking, and using younger leaves. Kale is also extraordinarily nutritionally rich, even among the leafy green vegetables.

Most kale is eaten cooked, although very young leaves may be trimmed from the stalks and used raw in salads. Cooked, kale is mixed in with soups in Portugal, used in mashed potatoes in Ireland, roasted on pizza in Italy, and eaten plain as a side dish all over the world. When cooking kale, be aware that the stems take more time to cook than the more delicate leaves. Some cooks trim out the largest stems to be cooked longer or discarded, to avoid soggy leaves and woody stems.
