By now, most people know or have at least heard about the benefits of incorporating Kale into their diet. To refresh, Kale is full of antioxidants, low on calories, high in calcium and packed full of wonderful vitamins, such as A, C and K. Keep in mind though that eating organic Kale is always best since you’ll receive the highest level of vitamins and nutrients when it’s organic, rather than being treated with harmful pesticides and other chemicals.
While Kale is healthy and full of flavour on its own, you may be wondering how to eat it, cook it or flavour it outside of the normal go-to Kale chips recipe. Kale chips are always a wonderful treat, but it’s also a good idea to mix it up and incorporate it into other dishes. Here are 5 easy ways to make Kale:
- One of the easiest things to do is use it in a salad, either as the main green or as part of a variety of greens. Salads are eaten by many people regularly so it’s quick and simple to toss a handful into your next lunch or dinner salad.
- Another simple trick, which is also a time-saver is to toss a few Kale leafs into your normal organic smoothie or juice drink. The sweetness of Kale lives up any home-made juice and it only takes a few seconds to toss it into the juicer with the rest of your organic fruits and vegetables.
- Another great option is to toss Kale into your favourite organic stir-fry. The sweet flavour will nicely offset any tanginess from the rice or soy.
- Just about any casserole style dish that you make can be complimented with Kale. Simply toss it in or layer it with the rest of the ingredients and cook as normal.
- Finally, toss Kale with your favourite organic cooking oil and eat it as a side dish. Kale goes wonderfully with salmon and other types of fish. If you want that salty flavour that comes with cooking Kale chips, all you need to do is toss a little organic sea salt into the mix and you have yourself a side dish that took a couple of minutes and tastes great!
