kale

Kale chips? My daughters will tell you that kale is the best food there is and if I had a field of fresh kale they would sit in it and graze.

On our last road trip, homemade kale chips were part of our gourmet fare.

Not only are Kale chips super easy and quick to make, they are packed with flavor and nutrition. I dare you to eat just one bowl full!

We eat kale raw in salads, torn into bite sized bits, and rubbed with olive oil and freshly squeezed juice of lemon and lime. We also juice it and add it to soups and stews. Kale cellulose needs breaking down in order to benefit from the minerals it contains. Traditionally, kale was cooked slowly for this reason.

If you’re going to eat it raw, chew well, or, as I mentioned, juice it for maximum minerals. Have you ever tried ready-made kale chips? Awesome, right? But there’s no comparison to home-made! You’ve got to try it.

Kale is a leafy green vegetable from the cruciferous family (broccoli, cabbage, etc.) that is full of fiber, essential vitamins A, C and K as well as the minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus. A cup of fresh kale has approximately 40 calories and almost 3 grams of protein.
