Organic Salad – Kale Leaves (100g) Australia

Kale leaves, with their robust, curly texture and dark green hue, have a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter flavour. Known for its hardiness, kale thrives in cooler climates and has become a popular leafy green for both raw and cooked dishes, where it holds its shape and flavour well.

Kale is packed with antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol, which help combat inflammation and protect cells from damage. It’s also rich in vitamin K, which plays a vital role in bone health and blood clotting, as well as magnesium for muscle function.

Barry’s tips: To tenderise kale for salads, massage the leaves with olive oil and lemon juice, or chop and add it to soups for a hearty, nutrient-dense addition. Try roasting kale leaves for crispy, low-calorie chips that make a satisfying snack.
