🔪 Preparing Fresh British Green Leaf Kale

Fresh Kale is easy to prepare.

1. Rinse the leaves thoroughly under cool running water.
2. Shake or pat away excess water.
3. Remove any particularly thick central stems.
4. Tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
5. Leave finely shredded for raw dishes or cook using your preferred method.

🥬 Fruit Bowl Tip

For a raw Kale salad, try gently massaging the prepared leaves with a small amount of olive oil and lemon juice.

This helps soften their naturally firm texture.

For cooked dishes, remember Kale reduces considerably in volume as the leaves soften.
