Published March 29, 2023 Kale has a bit of a bad reputation for its sharp “green” and fibrous taste. But if you prepare kale in the proper way, it can be so delicious and the perfect leafy green base for any salad. Kale has to be manipulated quite a bit to get it to a point where you feel like you can actually chew it and digest it. It has to be chopped up small and massaged VIGOROUSLY to break down those cell walls to the point where it’s soft and easy to chew. Massaging kale also makes it much easier to digest.
