JackMexAre they good?
@JackMexa4 They are delicious. I treat them like Napa Cabbage.....stir fry with onions and garlic, spices if you like. Really tasty
Good to know!
Cetraria@Lizette603_23 and conversely, you can eat kale flowers. And they frequently taste at least as good as sprouting broccoli
Zodypop@Lizette603_23 @Cetraria have you tried Kale chips? Just coat the leaves with oil and roast until crispy.
Eat This Podcast@Lizette603_23 Kale by another name!
@Lizette603_23 Fair enough. Not identical, but in the same ballpark, no? I also like broccoli stems, thinly sliced, as long as they aren't too woody.
@etp Well they could be the same genus and still taste different to different people. I wish I loved all veggies, but there are a few I can't stand! Lima beans still make me ball my fists up and say no no no no.
@Lizette603_23 A lot of people don't like Lima beans./ It does make me wonder if there's something genetic about it, like with cilantro.
Malka Beth@Lizette603_23 they're cooked like & taste similar Kale, to the point where I don't see much of a point in growing both, but rather I prefer to separate them out, when I'm freezing & reheating them, from the florets & stems.
@BrahmaBelarusian Interesting they don't taste like kale at all to my palate. Different strokes different folks, eh?
@BrahmaBelarusian I blanch them all before freezing and store chunky with chunky and leafy with leafy.
CC@Lizette603_23 they're delicious! And the stalks make great vegetable stock for soups & stews.
@WanabeSelkie I use them in all those things. As far as possible I use all of any plant that's edible. I can't choke down Kale though lol and I dislike lima beans intensely. Texture thing.
