Kale, Curly

Curly leafed kale (Brassica oleracea) has bright-green leaves sometimes curled so tightly it can be hard to chop them. This kind of kale tends to have a bright, peppery flavor that can become quite bitter. Curly Kale Flavor

Despite their tough and fibrous texture, kale stems are edible if cooked. You can add stems to stir fry, soups, or use to make vegetable stock. Kale has hearty leaves that withstand all types of cooking: boiling, braising, steaming, microwaving, and stir-frying. Kale can also be served raw, but the texture may be difficult to chew.
