“Like its parent veggies, the kalette is loaded with nutrients and health benefits. It's full of vitamin K (a whopping 120 percent of your daily recommended amount!), folate, vitamin c (40 percent of your daily value) and carotenoids, and it's got tons of a fibre.”

I do use kale for smoothies, but oddly, these seem to have passed me by. I spotted them in Lidl yesterday, and they are delicious!

Apart from being good for you, they only take 3-4 minutes to cook or you can eat them raw.

I expect someone will now say they have been around for ages lol!

I've forgotten what they were called.

They are not as strong flavoured as ordinary kale, very slightly sweet and tender. I shall buy them regularly now, not sure if they are season available, I can buy kale all year. Waitrose, Lidl and Morrisons seem to sell them, not sure about Tesco etc.

I tried one raw today, I think if you sliced them thinly, they would be nice in a salad instead of lettuce.

(I love sprouts 😳 and I love kale. In fact, I don't think that there's a vegetable that I don't like.)

In fact, as Toril says too, there aren't many veggies I don't like - I would never choose artichoke or okra but I can cope with most others.

Kale is not available here, except in the occasional health food store and it is extremely expensive so the chances of trying mini-kale are...ummmm ...MINImal.

Instead, we have Horta, which is translated on most Greek menus as 'weeds', which is exactly what they are. I wouldn't dare gather any, as the Greeks do, as you really need to know what to pick - a bit like mushroom gathering, you have to know which are poisonous.A few years ago, some of the wrong type got into a Supermarket batch and people started to suffer from hallucinations and a couple died!

Anyway, many of the 'weeds' resemble , and taste, a bit like kale.Those particular ones, I dehydrate and enjoy them as crisps.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Think I'll stick with cheese and onion if it's all the same.

What a terrible thread.

Toril wonders if that guy from The Fall liked sprouts, kale and the like, because that would change someone's mind about this thread. smiwnk

(P.S. That's not an invitation to post a photo of him or one of their songs, even if the song is about eating your greens.) 😳

LOL! (Shhhh, Don't tell anyone, but nicely salted kale chips don't taste like kale and are really nice sprinkled with parmesan in the last few minutes of dehydration smiwnk

. I have given them to my greens-hating grandchildren and they love them.)

I've tried them in different ways, but not for me. Strange, because I love swede, squash, parsnips etc.
