- dehrmann 7y agoIt's a garnish.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoNo more of a garnish than collard greens or other vegetables in its family. Interestingly, it's commonly mixed with potatoes across cultures in the culinary examples you can find on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale#/media/File:Kogt_skinke_brunede_kartofler_gr%C3%B8nlangk%C3%A5l.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale#/media/File:Kogt_skinke_b...
- HarryHirsch 7y agoOnly Yankees eat it raw. The rest of the world knows to cook it to death to deactivate the thioisocyanate and give it the proper sweet flavour.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoWhat's up with the casual, snooty condescension? Pretty much every time I've had kale in the USA, it's been cooked or baked like other plants in the brassica oleracea family. Okay, some people eat it raw like in smoothies or salads and have decided that the taste doesn't bother them. Why assume they couldn't make that decision for themselves or that they're missing out on some sort of ancient wisdom?
- HarryHirsch 7y agoIt's that in the US it's a fashion vegetable that is too coarse to be eaten raw. If you want fresh greens on your sandwich you are better advised with watercress, arugula or spinach.
- undersuit 7y agoJust raw kale on my medium rare burger is one of my favorite flavor combos.
