You know those stickers that say "eat more kale?" Well, I should probably have one that says just the opposite. I've wondered a time or two this season whether a person can eat too much kale... I decided to grow a lot of it in my garden since I buy a bunch at the store every week. My harvests have been bountiful and I've been eating it at least 4-5 days a week. My favorite way is to chop it, squirt on a bit of lemon juice, massage it and then have it in salads. Nutrition tip: lemon juice (or vinegar, or anything acidic) makes all the glorious minerals in kale more bioavailable for absorption.
So yesterday I made my final harvest before departing for Israel, and I've got a lot of kale to eat in 36 hours! Breakfast this morning is something I haven't had in a while: Millet with walnuts, kale, cheese (in this case I'm finishing up the gruyere in my fridge) and hot sauce. Sounds strange, I know, but I looove savory breakfasts.
My host claims that there is no kale in Israel, period. Makes sense given the climate. So I may be going through kale withdrawal, but I have a feeling that copious amounts of grape leaves and parsley will be a fine substitute.
