Types of Kale

Kale can be curly, flat, or even have a bluish tint mixed in with the green. The flavors differ, so try them all. Many farmers markets sell several types of kale, and most major grocery stores should have at least one. If you have a garden, or even just a few containers on a patio, you can grow kale. Whether you buy kale from the store or pluck it from your own backyard, look for dark, crisp leaves. When you get ready to cook or eat it, remove the leaves from the tougher stalks.
