3 Types of Kale and How to Use Them

3 Types of Kale and How to Use Them

Kale is part of the Brassica family which also includes wild cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.

Curly kale is the most popular but there are 6 other types that are just as nutritious, packed with protein, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, magnesium, iron, and calcium. Next time you visit the grocery store or farmer’s market try exploring different types of kale.

Here are my top 3:

1. Curly Kale: probably the most recognizable kale sold in bunches. It has a strong flavor with peppery and bitter notes, so seek out younger looking leaves for less bitterness. Pro tip: massage with olive oil or mashed avocado to soften before eating. Try Curly Kale in this delicious recipe

2. Dinosaur Kale (also known as Lacianto Kale) is tall and narrow and retains its firm texture even after it has been cooked. It has a slightly sweeter and more delicate taste than the curly kale. It’s perfect for soups and stews! *this is my favorite type of kale* Try Dinosaur Kale in this delicious recipe

3. Russian Kale has large leaves that look similar to arugula leaves. It’s mild and sweeter in flavor than other types, however, the stem is tough and fibrous stems which can be difficult to digest and can cause an upset stomach. Pro tip: separate the leaves from the stem and enjoy as part of your favorite salad. Try Russian Kale in this delicious recipe

3 tipos de col rizada y cómo usarlas

3 Types of Kale and How to Use Them

El col rizada es parte de la familia Brassica, que también incluye repollo silvestre, berza, brócoli, coliflor y coles de Bruselas.

La col rizada es la más popular, pero hay otros 6 tipos que son igual de nutritivos, llenos de proteínas, fibra, vitamina A, vitamina C, vitamina K, magnesio, hierro y calcio. La próxima vez que visites el super o el mercado de agricultores, intente explorar diferentes tipos de col rizada.

Aquí les dejo mis 3 favoritos:

1. La col rizada: probablemente el más reconocible que se vende en racimos. Tiene un sabor fuerte con notas picantes y amargas, así que busque hojas de aspecto más joven para obtener menos amargor. Consejo profesional: masajee con aceite de oliva o puré de aguacate para suavizar antes de comer. Prueba La col rizada en esta deliciosa receta

2.  La col rizada de dinosaurio: es alto y estrecho y conserva su textura firme incluso después de haber sido cocinado. Tiene un sabor ligeramente más dulce y delicado que la col rizada. ¡Es perfecto para sopas y guisos! * este es mi tipo favorito de col rizada * Prueba la col rizada de dinosaurio en esta deliciosa receta

3. La col rizada Rusa: tiene hojas grandes que se parecen a las hojas de rúcula. Es suave y de sabor más dulce que otros tipos, sin embargo, el tallo es duro y fibroso, que puede ser difícil de digerir y puede causar malestar estomacal. Consejo profesional: separe las hojas del tallo y disfrútelo como parte de su ensalada favorita.  Prueba la col Rusa en esta deliciosa receta
