First kale on Maggie's Farm

We have started growing Kale. It’s a completely new venture. We have limited experience growing strawberries but have decided to try the hand at something different and what better than kale given all the recent publicity this super food has received.
Kale is a type of cabbage, very high in nutrients and vitamins and is very high in fibre. So much so, some people with irritable bowels might want to give it a miss in its raw form. But for the massive majority of us kale is super choc full of  beta carotenevitamin Kvitamin C, and rich in calcium.
Kale is the real health food of 2015, good for boiling and juicing, steaming and salading. Some people even make it in chips??

Hopefully our crop will be successful and the harvest will help with our mineral and vitamin deficiency putting us on a detox and health track for next year. Stay posted for some recipes and more about this wonderful miracle plant.
