cooking kale
« on: August 31, 2021, 13:20 »
we grew some kale on the allotments last year so this is  the second year of growing Kale the first years pickings where good and cooked well however when we cooked the Kale this year the leaves turned out a yellow colour so we never eaten it have you any idea what mite be causing this?

the first pickings I took of the stalks because they where full of aphids so this is the second pickings ? this Kale is a dwarf  variety

That is odd.  How are you cooking it and what colour does it start out as.

Usually cutting veg or immersing in water are the main culprits for colour leaching.  You could try steaming, or cooking whole then putting a knife through it before serving.  Kale is also good if you stir-fry it.  You don't need a wok, just a roomy frying pan will do.  Heat a little oil, add sliced onion, plus garlic and chilli if you like it.  Once the onion is browned a bit, add sliced kale and stir in.  Add a small amount of liquid - water, stock, soy sauce - and slam a lid on to steam through  :)

steaming the Kale seems a good idea never thought of that one new shoot  going to pick some tomorrow and cook it fresh also stir-fry with onion and soy sauce sounds good my wife has already done stir-fry with red cabbage and red cabbage with apple

as for Kale and cattle I don't know of any farmer feeding kale to cattle or sheep round here mum i think giving my Emerald ice kale mite be a tad to extravagant for a stock feed  :D :D
