One article of questionable validity says kale sucks poisons out of the ground and we should not eat it anymore, and we storm our refrigerators, gleefully tossing bunches of kale in various states of rot (I'll eat it tomorrow) into the garbage. We clean out the freezer. We pluck the last of it from the garden and onto the compost pile.
We may even toss the soup we've added kale to hoping we could eat kale without actually tasting it.
We have no problem believing this former SUPER food has suddenly become POISON.
Why?
Cuz we were secretly hoping for a reason not to eat it all along.
The best endorsement for kale I've heard was, "oh, it's good in soup." Well, yes. If the soup is flavorful enough, even used kitty litter can taste pretty good, if a little crunchy.
I'm not a fan of kale. Once a decade or so I try it again, hoping maybe this time...
It's a bad habit I have. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Unless something about kale changes drastically and it becomes an edible green, there is no way I will enjoy choking the stuff down.
Kale, you've had your last chance with me. No, I don't believe you are poisonous. If kale didn't absorb well from the soil it wouldn't be so full of minerals that we need. But I'm not going to champion kale. There are too many actually tasty and tender greens out there that will satisfy nutritional needs.
Endive, arugula, leafy green and red lettuce...nom nom nom...
Stay healthy my friends
