Description

A fresh bunch of curly kale.
Curly leafed kale is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of kale. The bright-green leaves are sometimes curled so tightly it can be hard to chop them. This kind of kale tends to have a bright, peppery flavor that can become quite bitter.

I purchased this bunch of curly kale to make some kale chips as I'd read they they were yummy and also rather healthy.
I washed the kale, then cut out the main stems and chopped into say 1 or 2 inch pieces.
Put them in a plastic bag with a good drizzle of olive oil. Hand held bag to seal and shook madly to cover all the kale with oil. Put on some baking paper in the oven for a short time till browning.
YUM. I was surprised at the amazing flavor these healthy chips had.

Kale is a popular vegetable and a member of the cabbage family.

There are many different types of kale. The leaves can be green or purple, and have either a smooth or curly shape.
The most common type of kale is called curly kale or Scots kale, which has green and curly leaves and a hard, fibrous stem.
