Wow. Kale chips sound great. I used to be a vegetarian and one of my fave dinners was kale sauteed with garlic, onions, sunflower seeds, soy sauce and seitan served over sushi rice.

Love kale!

Another great tip about kale is if you’re like me and can’t stomach it the first time you try it, try, try again. It was the heat of the summer when I first laid my lips on it, and honestly, after the taste I assumed it would be my last. But when the summer heat gave way to cooler temperatures, I gave it a try again, and what do you know, it was far more palatable!

The summer months can make the kale very bitter tasting. Frankly, the smell, in my opinion, is completely different. The cold weather really gives it a more mild flavor that is DELICIOUS in green smoothies. I now just give up the kale for the summer, exchanging it in my smoothies for chard usually.

I have also heard that the dinosaur kale is a lot more palatable during the hotter months of the year, but I never had much luck with that.
