    I’m not a real chef, but I do eat kale and chicken breast 3 to 5 times per week! Benefits of kale include: vitamins, iron, fiber etc. I eat kale because it’s healthy and tasty… well at least way I show you how to cook kale. I absolutely hate raw kale because it’s tough and bitter, disgusting.
    The key to making kale is to massage the kale. This process breaks down the tough fibers and cooks the kale tender in the process. Follow these easy steps on how to cook kale, and you’ll be on that health grind in no time!
    How to Cook Kale in Quick and Easy Steps
    1. The first step to making kale is to rip off the kale leaves from the stem. Grab the stem with your thumb and just push. This is an easy way to prepare the kale.
    2. Wash the kale with water
    3. While washing the kale, you MUST massage the kale. This is the guaranteed way to cook tender kale. It breaks down the tough fibers so your mouth doesn’t have to.
    4. Pour out all the water, then add salt.
    5. Saute (with some olive oil) the kale in a heated pan for 5-10 mins with the seasoning of your choice.
    6. Now you know how to cook tender kale every single time!!
    What inspired me to cook this video teaching you how to cook kale is because I eat kale 3-5 times a week. It’s my main source of vitamins. Because I workout and I try to live a healthy lifestyle, kale fits perfectly into my diet. Normally, I just cook a whole bunch of kale and chicken breast then store them in individual containers with rice. This ensures my meals for at least half of a week. Honestly, as a college student, I don’t have the time to cook food all the time. I love cooking but I never have the time. So cooking kale is basically my relaxing time. That’s why I meal prep. Making kale is actually pretty fun too, especially the massaging part! It’s kind of like a stress relief.
    I hope this video was helpful and you learned how to cook kale. Just remember, the key to making tender kale is to massage the kale.

      Great video, thank you! I love where you say that that's the reason you work out is because you want to massage the kale! I literally did LOL, because of your great humor! Well, I'm going to try it! Do you think it might be good with ginger root, since I don't have any peppers, only red pepper seasonings or La Victoria Green Taco Sauce, which has green bell peppers and jalapeno peppers? Thank you for any assistance you could give. God bless you!

    Bro, a ton of the vitamins inside the kale were washed away when you massage in water. Wash the kale thoroughly before you massage, drain/dry in a salad spinner, put back in empty pot, add olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, and massage. A lot of the vitamins in kale are water soluble and wash right away the way you did it. Just FYI!!

    I bought some curly kale for the first time, a while back and followed the advice on the package.
    It was as tough as anything, so much so that I stopped eating it.
    There was no mention of removing the leaves from the stalks, or massaging it.
    Definitely worth giving it another go!

  • @alexcarter8807

      @WesleyThibodeau Před 3 lety

      A.I bots used to be programmed to like videos so people could manipulate the algorithms, now they figured out that they could identify bots by focusing on accounts that only liked content. So now AI bots are programmed to also dislike random videos to make them appear 'real'. This is why great/beautiful/loving content can sometimes have 600 dislikes, which of course might not even make sense.
      That is the complete answer to your question.
      Aren't you glad you asked? :)

    • @Girasol09
      @Girasol09 Před 3 lety +1

      A great way to keep that green water would be to soak your kale in apple cider vinegar water or you can use distilled vinegar and salt (coarse). I am not sure if you know but kale and spinach are vegetables that have the highest pesticide residue on them. look it up. But if you do what they did and squish (“massage”) the kale like that without washing it you might not want to keep the water. So I advise, wash your kale thoroughly first. The water that comes off of them when you rinse them should be clear. Then you can massage your kale! Happy Kale eating!
