Kale Chips

Kale has been a hot topic lately in the health food circles. Kale is great for you. Here is what wikipedia has to says:

"Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and rich in calcium. Kale, as with broccoli and other brassicas, contains sulforaphane (particularly when chopped or minced), a chemical with potent anti-cancer properties.[1] Boiling decreases the level of sulforaphane; however, steaming, microwaving, or stir frying do not result in significant loss.[2] Along with other brassica vegetables, kale is also a source of indole-3-carbinol, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.[3][4] Kale is also a good source of carotenoids."

I love the flavor. It is broccoli flavor but in a nice crisp leaf.

It is great in your green shakes especially after you freeze it.

I love it in soups.

I especially love it baked into chips.
