Do you do something to prepare the kale? Or do you eat it like salad greens?

My wife says it is super healthy, but I just cannot develop a taste for it. She's served it in a salad and cooked them like greens. Hated it both times.

Maybe you know some secret. I generally love vegetables, but not kale...

We eat Kale in salads as the sole green or with other greens.

My wife puts kale on pizza, in pastas and other foods. I put it in my home made stews about 10 minutes before turning off the heat and pulling the stew pot off the burners. She is known as the salad queen among our friends and relatives, and kale is part of her salads except her Caesar.

I eat it by itself with a sea salt and olive oil spray.

Also, I spray the leaves with olive oil and put sea salt and pepper on the leaves and grill it after I grill the main course for about a minute per side.

One of our relatives does the same prep like I do before grilling. Then she puts the seasoned leaves into a dehydrator to make kale chips.

Nothing will work if you don’t like it. My wife and most relatives like it, and I love it anyway.

So go to a farmer’s market and try the various kales, raw.

If you don’t like them, try another type until you find one you like. The try the one/ones you like in salads and other presentations.

One of our grandkids doesn’t like Kale, but he loves Chard, a Kale cousin.

There has to be some things in green stuff like Kale that makes us like it or hate it. If you hate it don’t worry and try some other green like asparagus. We eat asparagus grilled and wrapped with proscuto or just grilled. My wife sprays asparagus with olive oil and seasons with salt and pepper and cooks in a cookie sheet on top of parchment paper in her convection oven with salmon, pork, chicken or beef with other veggies.

Good luck.
