Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Emily Santanna with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week. Spring is prime time for fresh, colorful eating. The kind that feels like a little reset after winter. Trying new produce, like Kale, is a great way to kick off Spring.
- Kale is loaded with vitamins A, C, & K to support eye and bone health.
- Look for crisp, green leaves when choosing.
- It stays fresh much longer than other greens, but should be stored unwashed in the refrigerator with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
- When ready to use, rinse under cold running water and remove the center stem, which can be chewy.
- Kale is very versatile and can be used in salads, eggs, pasta dishes, smoothies or baked into kale chips.
