The drought has been hard on us this year, but we finally have enough greens to bring back our salad mix after a rare summer absence.
Kale
Menu Group: Food
Section: Vegetables
Category: Kale

From Porter Hill Farm

MIx of Curly Leaf, and White and Red Russian Kale


From Riverweb

Mixed Bag Multiple Variety Kale (in bulk): Kale's robust, crinkled leaves add a garden-fresh, slightly bitter taste which helps lighten hearty soups and stews. It's best with a bit of cooking time, so don't be shy about adding it to the pot early. Kale is very high in vitamin C and calcium. Our favorite way to eat this ultra-healthy vegetable is in a soups and braises but it is also excellent used raw in salads. Riverweb grows multiple varieties of kale which we harvest fresh and sell in mixed bags.
Kale is tastiest if eaten soon after purchase, but it should keep in the refrigerator for up to a week if stored in a perforated plastic bag with its leaves close together.
