Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have tried two different kales...never had eaten it before. One is very, very dark, dark green with thick leaves and curly but not curly like the other kales, more like a heavy thick wave. Someone called it dinosaur kale. What ever it's name it is the best thing I have ever tasted. Just a very slight hint of sweetness. I chop it and include the stems and then steam it for exactly three minutes. Then if it is still a tad too toothy I add one more minute. With margarine, salt and pepper it is the best thing going and I understand loaded with good health and long life. The other kale I tried was very curly and lighter in color. I didn't like it any where near as well as the dark kale. It was too soft and mushy, like over done spinach from the get go. I have this approach to new veggies that I am trying and that is to cook it the first time just plain and simply steamed. And then I can get fancy later with it. I am so glad I did this with the kale as I am simply delighted with it plain. linda Shelly I've been wanting to try kale and this sounds like a good start. Can you describe the taste of kale?
