I juice my kale stems. It's been a perfect way to use them and keep the leaves for everything else like smoothies, sauteed dishes and salads. I LOVE your videos! Already tried 3 of your recipes and they all came out beautifully :)

I use it when I make my southern greens. I combine it with collards, Swiss chard, mustards, and turnip greens. You can use all or just some of these greens. Boil smoked meat like ham hocks, smoked ham, or smoked turkey. Add onions and garlic while boiling. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 2 hours and serve.

I love this sauteed kale, it's my favorite! And I like the stems, I like the crunchy part mixed with the soft leafs.

I love the "Dino" Kale to puree as baby food. 3rd kid, and I've always introduced kale as one of the first foods they eat.

Love your 101's!

Smoothie is the way to go. I am growing some Kale now and just go to the garden and pick a few young leaves and pop them in a blender with a banana and some coconut cream and wow good to go. I also add grass fed gelatin powder to make it creamy and add protein. Love it.

You have been a life savior ever since I decided to eat clean. I was worried that eating clean meant no flavor but I have tried so many of your recipes. There all delicious! I have been afraid of trying kale but I think this is the push I need to give it a go.

I absolutely love kale of all varieties. I use it in smoothies and juices. I love to make kale chips which are so delicious. I also top my homemade pizza with kale, I use kale in my buddha bowls and in soups and stews. I love to put a little finely chopped and toasted kale in my guacamole with hemp seeds and I love to mix kale in with my fried rice. There are really endless possibilities for kale and I love that they are so versatile.

My kids love to experiment with different flavors of kale chips. We love kale apple salad, kale sausage soup, and we like it in some smoothies or juices.

I love Kale, , my Husband grows it, , we had it right through December which is not normal for New England, , but I sure was happy. My Mom always made Portuguese Kale Soup, , that's my favorite. I also love Garlic Kale, , after its cooked I like to sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds. Great video. Thank you.

I've been loving adding kale to my quinoa salad with a lot of different veggies. Also, love to add it to smoothies, mainly for my toddler. :)

I'm absolutely addicted to making kale chips. I also love throwing it into salads and preparing it as I would collard greens in a veggie broth with some apple cider vinegar.

[Ptupaz]

You are simply amazing Dani! I love your recipes and my family do love Kale! In Singapore we seldom get them because they are imported! All I did was just parboil them and then put them in a big bowl of icy water and later just toss them in Extra virgin olive oil, a little balsamic vinegar, Salt and pepper.. Thank you Dani for all your wonderful recipes, especially your coconut ones!

[CurlyVeggie]

There's something so satisfying about the sound of the chopped kale!

[FarmLifewithKids]

My new favorite way to enjoy kale is in Oven baked Kale Chips! I love it!!!!

[smartlivingbytech]

i love curly kales and they are amazing for kale chips with some nutritional yeast!

[rubidouxxx]

I love love love drizzling a tiny bit of olive oil, soy sauce and coconut nectar (or you could use something agave nectar or maple syrup). It's so tasty and the sweetness just makes it so addictive! I eat it every lunch time.

Dani, It's so funny that you posted this kale video today because I had my first experience with kale today. My husband decided that he wanted to start juicing so he purchased a juicer and today we purchased lots of fruits and veggies including kale. He made a nice smoothie using a variety of fruits and veggies. As I was drinking it, I noticed a mild burning sensation in my throat, but I had no idea which ingredient was causing it. Since we had so much kale leftover, I made a kale salad for dinner. Once I started eating it, my throat was on fire! I looked online and found out that this does happen to some people when they eat RAW kale. Something to do with oxalates, whatever they are. So I'm going to try your recipe and see if it happens with cooked kale. Thanks!
