Baby- Red Russian

IN SEASON
June- December

STORAGE TIPS
up to 1 week
Store kale in a plastic in the refrigerator.  

To freeze, and cut out the midrib and stem and chop into uniform pieces; wash thoroughly.  Blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water, cool immediately, and drain.  Pack into containers, leaving 1/2 inch headroom, and freeze.

CULINARY TIPS
  • Be sure to wash leaves well as soil sticks in the nooks and crannies on the leaves.
  • Cut out the tough mid-rib.
  • Chopped kale leaves take about 7-10 min to steam and slightly longer to sauté.
  • Toss steamed kale with sautéed garlic and tamari.
  • Add sautéed kale to mashed potatoes, omelets, quiches, and casseroles.
  • Baby Kale is much more tender and can be eaten raw as a salad or steamed quickly.
