Throw it out.
It's nasty...and:

Before scientists were blinded by kale’s health food halo, they studied its horrific effect on livestock. Farmers had been mystified by the births of lambs that already had goiter. Researchers experimented with kale on sheep and rabbits with grisly results. Turns out kale does contain a goitrogen, thiocyanate, which is chemically very similar to deadly cyanide. Some young lambs were stillborn, their brain development stunted by their goiters. The consumption of kale had blocked their thyroid’s ability to function properly even in the presence of proper iodine consumption.

Ok if you boil it first but no better than silver beet for you. Ok as kale chips. JUst don't put it in raw smoothies!

katalin2 - 2017-04-23 10:51:00

So, if you drown it with enough seasonings or dressings, it's edible? Doesn't sound like fun.

its actually not good for you, you can research why.

"Goitrogens are chemicals in food such as kale, cruciferous vegetables and soybeans. Many, but not all, green vegetables contain some levels of goitrogens. Even when eaten frequently, foods containing goitrogens will not cause thyroid disease in healthy people. You need only monitor goitrogen intake after you have been diagnosed with thyroid disease. Kale and green vegetables are very healthy foods, rich in nutrients, and do not need to be avoided completely. If you have thyroid disease, continue to eat these foods cooked. Dietary guidelines given by your doctor should take precedence."

New World and certain other stores sells 'Baby Kale" in those pre-packaged bags. Very nice in Salads.

Kale with Mustard Dressing

250g Kale or curly kale
3 tbs light olive oil
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
1 tbs white wine vinegar
Pinch of castor sugar
Salt & Ground pepper

Wash Kale, drain, then trim it and tear into pieces.
Cook briefly if needed.

Whisk the oil into the mustard, when blended completely, whisk in the white wine vinegar.
It should begin to thicken.
Season the mustard dressing to taste with sugar, a little salt and plenty of pepper.

Toss the kale in the dressing and serve immediately.

And this is Nice to....

Chinese-style kale

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large garlic clove, sliced
200g bag kale
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan, then tip in the garlic and cook for a few secs. Throw in the kale and toss around the pan to coat in the garlicky oil.
Pour over 100ml boiling water and cook until the kale has wilted and is cooked through to taste.
Stir in the soy and oyster sauces and heat through to serve.

Cheers

Oh, Kale is officially classified as a Super Food Item, a top listed food item to have in one's diet.

Key is Kale is best Raw or just wilted.

Cheers

When babysitting grandies recently, miss 4 assured me that kale is EXACTLY the same as fish & chips! Seeing that all theirs in the garden had been used up perhaps we should have the F&C for tea instead!

donna23 - 2017-04-27 15:42:00

Tonights dinner:
Fry onions (this is how every great recipe starts...), add kale and any lovely stock your fridge might harbour (except fish stock maybe?) when soft enough for your tastes add slices of that Xmas ham you froze ages ago or in lieu some nice chorizo from the Swiss Butchers ... eat with nice little potatoes or even mash up big peelable potatoes if your garden provided them.

Im just replanting the vege garden with amongst other things some Cavelo Nero (type of kale). I wouldnt rave over it bit it works well when I want a simple meal of noodle soup with some greens in it. And I like those pick and come again sort of veges as I would never be able to eat a whole cabbage or cauli on my own, but something like this or spinach or Tatsoi is perfect for me.

Love it. If you eat silver beet you will eat kale. T

I was going to try it until I realised it is SKY HIGH in Vitamin K which is a problem for me as I take Warfarin. Just a heads-up for others who may be in that category.

LOl, I could say what if all your friends did (insert stupid thing)?

Horrible stuff, plenty of other veges are good for you and taste far better.
