Kale...bleeh!

The texture is all wrong: bubbly and rubbery. It has many health benefits but I just can't do it.

Kale is considered to be a highly nutritious vegetable with powerful antioxidant properties and is anti-inflammatory. It is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium. As with Broccoli and other brassicas, it contains sulforaphane, a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties, particularly when chopped or minced.
