Here in zone 5b it is time to sow our Kale plants along with other greens such as Collards, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli and any other greens you enjoy eating They are packed with Anti inflammatory (which means that if you have inflammation it will ease the swelling and pain, if you have arthritis it will ease the pain drug free ,even ease a headache that and drinking several cups of water will relieve the pain!) and Anti-cancer properties (Prevention starts here!) and... with excellent vitamins A,C, K and beta carotene and minerals..
Kale and cousin Collards can be eaten in a salad, soups stews, baked, pan fried (low heat please) and oven rolls (roll your desired meats with or without rice) !
Kale supports the heart and the dietary fiber aids in controlling blood sugar levels (for the diabetic) because it is high in fiber, cup of fresh kale can have as low as 40 calories. So eat your kales after you have sown and transplanted.
When harvesting pick from the lower leaves and you will get more and more all season long!
If you are in a HOT location place your kale in the freezer for about 10 minutes to get some of the bitter taste out .Or the fridge for an hour or so.
I don't care how bitter it is the nutrients are just the same so I eat it *LOL
If we bought celery and it was bitter we would probably eat it anyway
