About Kale, scotch, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

Kale (Brassica oleracea) is a hardy leafy green and one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables you can eat, a cruciferous cousin of cabbage and broccoli that comes in curly, flat Tuscan, and frilly red varieties. Its sturdy, deep-green leaves have a robust, earthy, slightly bitter flavor that sweetens after a frost or with cooking. Kale is famously rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with fiber, calcium, and antioxidants, all for very few calories.

It is wonderfully versatile: massaged with dressing for a sturdy raw salad, baked into crisp kale chips, sauteed with garlic, blended into smoothies, or simmered into soups, stews, and pastas. Removing the tough central stem makes the leaves more tender. Choose crisp, deeply colored bunches with no yellowing or wilting, and store kale wrapped in the refrigerator, using it within a few days.
