Krispy Kale

In early April the Garden Club students made Kale Chips!!  It's a very easy recipe.  We just cut the kale leaves from the School Garden, drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt, and baked the leaves at 300* for 20 minutes.  The children all enjoyed eating the "krispy" kale.  I think they were envisioning potato chips, but the children were good sports.  :)  Yum, yum!! 

Kale Fun Facts:
  • Kale is a form of cabbage.
  • It contains sulforaphane (particularly when chopped or minced), a chemical with potent anti-cancer properties.
  • Until the end of the Middle Ages, kale was one of the most common green vegetables in all of Europe.
