Kale is a wonderful vegetable with unsurpassed health benefits and a rich taste. It perfectly replaces spinach in our menu.
It contains the rare and valuable vitamin K, which is involved in the construction of four of the thirteen essential amino acids in the human body.
In addition, the kale vegetable is rich in vitamins A, C, calcium and flavonoids. The content of vitamin A is much higher than the daily needs of the human body. Kale is good for the eyes, blood and the bone health.
It is very important, in order to store kale, to not boil it, because this heat treatment leads to the loss of a large part of the useful substances it contains.
An interesting fact about kale is that the longer it is stored, the more bitter its taste becomes.
Before storing kale, wash it well with cold water.
You can store kale for up to two days outside of the refrigerator. It is stored in the refrigerator for up to five days.
If due to any circumstances it has acquired a withered appearance, immerse it in ice water for a few minutes and it will make it look more fresh.
