Kale
Antioxidant
Anti-inflammatory
Anti-Cancer
The most nutrient dense food in the world by a landslide
Are you eating heaps of it?
-
It should have a showdown with spinach.

You would need to eat a lot of kale just to get your 100g worth.

great. Easy to eat 300gr ;)

Any recipes?
Seems like a very tough leaf :-\
Migs?

kale is good. Somewhat peppery in taste. It is very fibrous and doesn't cook down like greens or spinack. It basically will hold it's shape. Chopped up it goes really well with tuscan soup, or spanish chorizo-potato and kale soup. I can see if i can find a recipe from my stuff. I need to organize them. Also you will normally discard the stem and ribs.

I eat a lot of Kale. Awesome food.
ALso good are mustard greens, spinach, and endive. I'd classify these as superfoods.
Cook them up in a little olive oil and some minced garlic in a pot. Absolutely delicious.
-
OK to eat raw? I generally don't cook my veggies.
-
flax seed = awesome

Question, does it make a difference nutrition wise if you cook spinach or not?
-
best way to cook spinach is to quickly sautee it with a dash of olive oil, a touch of water or steam it. Don't boil it down or over cook it.

true. Takes only a few seconds to a minute for it to whittle itself up in the pan...

Some of the nutrients are degraded in the cooking process while others are made more available for the body to absorb.

I keep tubs of greens (spinach, kale, turnip etc) in the fridge, and at meal time just grab a handful and eat it.. no dressing etc.. no plate.. easy.

Am I correct in presuming the same about broccoli?

basically any veg

Yes. Slightly steamed veggies break down some of the fibers that inhibit absorption of some nutrients. On the other hand, some are degraded in the cooking process. The fact that "we" tend to eat more of these good veggies than the average couch potato American, we're probably making up for any shortfall that "studies" show. I know I can eat boatloads of steamed spinach or broccoli, but only small amounts of raw.

Yes,
Yesterday I bought some, boiled it for about 5 minutes, then I sauteed it with portobello mushrooms and some sweet diced onion.
It was really great tasting.

You are wellcome to Mediterranean Diet :) Hello from Spain ;)

don't we all!

I juice it along with many other veggies.
That does not sound good :-X
I used to juice all the time - carrots always being the "base", but cleaning the juicer became a PIA.
Have you juiced a beet? One of the most vile things I've ever tasted. :-X
Carrots with 1/2 granny smith apple is good.
Peel an orange with a potato peeler, taking off only the orange, leaving the white "pithy" skin and juice that. The juice comes out very creamy and sweet.
The St. Louis airport used to have a fresh juice bar where they juiced everything fresh right in front of you. I wonder if it's still there. ???
-
the problem with juicing is that you lose so much of the fiber
-
I'll go with Peanut Butter.
-
Kale is extremely good for you. I eat as much as I can get my hands on.
Everyone should be eating a minimum of at least 5 servings a day of vegetables.
-
serving sizes are retarded
