can I juice it after
Do you cut out leaves chewed up by bugs? Or do you worry about that? During the the summer I take kale leaves after they are washed and slightly dried, and those them on a cookie sheet. I freeze them and then when I make smoothies I break the leaves off the stem, which is really easy because they are stiff, and toss it in to blend smoothies. It makes a colder smoothie!
arent you killing most of the nutrients cooking the kale?
She offered me Kale. Didn't know what it was or what to do with it. If eating it was a possibility, I couldn't have consumed it all even if I liked it. Your video has given me hope.
omg I wanted to know how to freeze it without blanching… over 3 minutes of rambling on about a plant we've been growing and then you blanch it. Thanks to you and Google for giving me exactly what I didn't want!
I wouldve liked to see the frozen kale
The enzymes don’t actually boil off, the heat just denatures them making them inactive.
I am wondering why you didn't dry the kale after blanching. Won't it be covered with thin ice when you remove it from the freezer? Thanks
Right now, i can go for a dish of kale and macaroni {Sicilian style}
N u make a tortilla.mmmm
Luke, I am AMAZED!!! I have been harvesting my MIGardener Vates Blue Scotch Curled Kale and MIGardener Viroflay Spinach that I got the seed from you and NEVER EVER have I EVER had spinach and Kale as gorgeous and SUPER tasty as this! I have been gardening for over 38 years and I am ONLY going to plant this type from now on! I was looking on your site on how you freeze it….I am just not sure about blanching….I may just continue to wash, chop and freeze …either way Thanks for all your advice! 🙂
Does anyone know how long kale chips would last on their own
I have a food saver machine. I guess I can do this step before sealing.
This video was SOOO helpful, thank you!!!
are you vegan or vegetarian?
We are supposed to eat 7 cups of vegetables a day, so growing a lot of kale is worth it
Now I know what to do with my old kitty litter boxes. Re-use them for cold kale baths!!! Awesome idea.
Thanks for not showing if you squeeze all the air out or not…im guessing yes…
Rinse/wash in water, salad spin, then straight to freezer, most of stem too, in order to preserve nutrients and antioxidants. Lots of nutrition in the stems/more than in leaf. Eat raw and frozen in green smoothies. Like liquid sunshine. One of best, if not THE best, sources of potassium. Helps lower blood pressure, balance electrolytes, lots of other benefits.
Were you married when you made this video?
Thank u I'm going to do mines now I have so many left I dont want them to go to waste happy holiday's to u and your family
If you give it to your GF just make sure your wife doesn't find out.
Hi! Thx for info. Was wondering also if u can grow all summer with high heat?
I only have 8 plants or so. Both my sinks are full at this very moment lol. I’m soaking it in cold water with a little vinegar to kill anything that might be on it. First time I’ve grown this much. Holy moly my plants were huge! I picked everything but the new leaves. I grow organic too. Sink one I rinse it off,then fill and soak. Took out a couple tiny spiders and some little fly thing. Oh yeah I found a white worm that looked like a small piece of rice. What is it?. Sink two, fresh cold vinegar water. Soak again! Thank you MI Gardener for this video! I live in Michigan too. I’m south west so it’s warmer here for about two weeks longer. I got some work to do lol. Well worth it. Let’s all stay healthy all winter long! Please make more how to preserve your food videos! Please please please!!!
Great video
I haven't been growing kale before, and I have a bed planted with kale, with winter on the way I want to store my kale just like you showed in this video. Thanks
