Kale has really “grown” in popularity as a healthy green alternative when making salads, smoothies or homemade chips. Long gone are the days when kale was only green in colour and primarily used for feeding livestock. Kale is one of the oldest cultivated vegetables as well as among the most nutritious. It is easy to grow, cold hardy and even sweetens in flavour with a touch of frost. All varieties of Kale make a great addition whether cooked, or eaten tender and raw.
