Well, I might - if it were not for the fact that I truly despise
the flavor of kale. Way too bitter.
Kale is super healthy - so years ago I experimented with
all sorts of recipes to try to choke the stuff down.
Anybody care for some 'Kaleslaw'? No?
What is the LEAST bitter variety of kale? Is there one?
I grow ‘Prism’ (green, very curly leaf), ‘Scarlet’ (purple, plant grows very tall) and this season I discovered ‘Kandy Crush’ which is green with red veining. It is edible, but is also lovely as an ornamental.
We must have different taste buds, because I don’t find Kale bitter at all. I like it raw in salads or wilted in EVOO with lots of garlic. I make a Lemony Kale Pesto which is awesomely good.
Bitterness in Kale comes from the heat, so if you’re just eating the baby greens, you’ll find them very mild in flavor. Kale tastes best in spring and fall.
