[Ag-eq] Curly kale

[nfoster at extremezone.com]

Jewel:

I love kale and use it all the time.

You can cook it like you would any other green.  Sometimes I substitute it in
recipes that call for spinach.

I also use it in stir fries instead of cabbage.

I've seen some recipes where you just barely cook it and then use it in a salad;
I haven't tried this, so don't know how it would turn out.  I did try using it
raw in salads, but it seemed a little tough and bitter.  I have shredded it and
put it in some slaws and it wasn't bad after marinating for a while.

I'm sure there's all kinds of recipes on line.

Yes, you're right, it's very good for you.  It comes in different colors, so it
looks pretty in a garden.

Maybe Tracy has some better ideas.
