COOKED KALE!

I find kale a nice deviation from spinach.  It is a collard green (this means it is in the cabbage family)  It has so many health benefits that you should try to eat it regularly.

I hope someone will try this and tell me what they think.

It lowers cholesterol, it produces bile that helps digest food more easily (when it is steamed or boiled).
There have been many studies on the benefits of Kale all the way from prevention of certain cancers as the following: bladder,breast, colon, ovary and prostrate. (please look up the information for yourself and in many different places so you are informed by your own investigating)

A suggestion of eating kale 3 times a week at about 1 1/2 cups will help on many levels of health.  Please research for yourself.

I like to slow boil mine for about 10-15 minutes as I like it tender.  Keep the lid of the pot to keep its beautiful green colour.

I drain it well (I save the broth and freeze it for my soups I make) and eat it simply with a meal as my vegetable.  I use becel proactiv spread on mine which I love.
