Additional information:
Kale is very good for health and at the same time very yummy, if you cook it right. Kale doesn't taste so good with steaming, but it is super delicious and crunchy stir-fried or raw-cooked with citrus. One should eat lots and lots of it. Here is a recipe on how to prepare it, Chinese style. I will put up another recipe on how to eat it raw as a salad western style.

We had stir-fried kale for dinner yesterday, and Daddy LOVES it!! For someone who is so picky with Chinese food like Daddy, you would imagine how pleased I am with my achievement that he loves this dish :-)

Kale is in season in Denmark now and it is very cheap compared to the Chinese vegetables one gets from Chinatown, so go down to your nearest supermarket and grab it to create variety in your diet while it last... :-)
