| | Kale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Kale, like other members of the cabbage family, is a good source of vitamin C and is rich in phytochemicals, including sulforaphane and indoles, that may protect against cancer. |
 | | Kale bought in the supermarket is usually pretty sturdy (i.e., the stems may be too tough to eat), but kale from a farmers' market or your own garden is likely to be more tender, possibly tender enough to use raw in a salad. |
 | | Kale should be kept in a chilled display case or on ice in the market, as it will wilt and become bitter if left in a warm environment. |
