Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

I don't like kale in most things. I definitely don't want to eat it raw. *shudder* But, I do like it the right kinds of soup.

I've seen it in soups before and it doesn't look all that bad. I suppose if it's cooked to death in a soup, it wouldn't be as gross as trying to eat it raw.

It's also a good idea to slice it quit thin and then cut that crosswise to about 2" lengths, so you dont get long strings or too large a piece in your mouth at once. I regularly use it in Chef John's White bean and sausage stew. I only cook it for about the last 15 minutes. Even my late DH liked it in that soup, actually preferred it because, it had a little bit of "tooth" left.

I know a lot of people don't like kale. I steam a large amount let it slightly cool, turn it out of the steamer onto a cutting board. Then I cut it vertically and horizontally (little squares). Then I use it in soup or just a bowl of it with ac vinegar and nu-salt. This past week I take about 40 leaves (these are big and small from the garden), blend them with water, an apple and a peach. I drink that once a day for the raw nutrients. Once I got used to it, I love it. People from the south like their greens, I'm from the north but learned to like them. If it isn't your thing, move on to something else, try some chocolate silk pie.

Now that sounds mouthwateringly delicious. Bet that would be good with spinach as well.

Don't mind if I do!

But yeah, I'm not a fan of greens. I do love spinach, though, both raw (in salads) or cooked. But I don't think spinach is considered a green? Not like turnip or mustard greens, I don't think.

Dr. Esselstyn (specializing in heart disease) considers all greens. A mix of any of these is good stuff. Esselstyn's favorite 6 'greens' for NO (nitrates) production are KALE, SPINACH, SWISS CHARD, ARUGULA, BEET GREENS, BEETS. He's the doctor that did the study on hopeless cardiac disease patients that doctors gave up on, and they lived long lives after all the heart disease.

Dr Esselstyn: Leafy Greens

Dr Esselstyn recommends that heart patients eat leafy greens six times a day!
