lindsay said:I actually LOVE kale - I have regular cravings for it, as it definitely has beneficial gut action when cooked well (not to mention it's full of minerals). I made borsch and chicken soup in the past month and used Kale in it - was a delicious addition. But my favorite way to eat kale is really well cooked in a little water - then strain it (yeah sorry - drinking Kale liquid is just not on my to-do list); then sauté with tomato sauce and mix in some sour cream and cheese. I actually ate this yesterday - grated cheddar and some sour cream mixed in. So tasty!!
I feel about beans the way pboy feels about kale - I mean, they are tasty and all when cooked and smothered with fat, but they just do not digest well. I do, however, really love red lentils.
They way you eat kale sounds really good, Lindsay! I have had it in soups before and it tasted fine, but like you, the juice by itself I don't personally like. I was juicing kale back in my RBTI days and I found it to be unpleasant, but I'm sure a good way around that is putting it in stews like Amazoniac suggested.
And guess what!? I finally found the Pacific brand bone broth at Whole Foods. I bought 8 cartons of it. LOL
