springtime soon


Its almost berry season! But until then I will keep myself satisfied with my favorite greens...kale and chard.
A relative of cabbage, kale is rich in beta carotene, vitamin's K and C, and calcium. This delicious green has been consumed since the Middle Ages and was encouraged in Victory Gardens during WWII since it's pretty easy to grow and is high in nutrients. I eat kale on the daily...usually in New Leaf's Coastal Kale Salad, Kale Chips or just stir fried with vegetables.



I like to joke that my wedding bouquet is gonna be Kale and Chard...
