(Kale:the green ruffly stuff cozied up with turnips and sweet potatoes)Gardening on Purpose is about conjoining the food we grow at home and what we eat. Kale hits the spotlight today as it is one of the top SuperFoods. The term “superfood” is such because of its nutrients and health protecting qualities.
According to the CDC, Kale was brought to the US in the 17th Century, ended up in the South as a “poor man’s food” because it is so cheap and easy to grow. Hear that? EASY TO GROW!
I have a Kale seed packet rolling around in my car. The raised beds are tidy, the seeds go in this week. Try some Kale, then use Giada’s recipe for Kale and Potato Chips with Lemon Mayo Dip…
Blessings from the Garden
