Kale is an interesting vegetable. It has loads of fiber, vitamins and minerals, and it's even easy to grow in the garden. Kale can have a tough texture, though. Eating it raw is the best way to take advantage of kale's antioxidant properties, but a big pile of kale greens can be a bit intimidating, and a chew-fest, too -- until now. Our kale salad is tender, sweet and easy to eat, thanks to the type of kale we're recommending.
There are actually a number of kale varieties on the market. The most popular option sold in stores has curly leaves, and these kale cultivars are great in soups and stews. For salads, prefer flat leaf kale sold as Tuscan kale, dino kale, dinosaur kale or lacinato kale respectively. These kales tend to be tender and mild, and their central veins are also edible. This means less waste and more kale goodness all around.
