This is the first time we've ordered kale, so we hope you'll enjoy it. Kale is one of the most nutritious of the green leafy vegetables and is the most beneficial food there is for good eyesight ( according to my mother's :-) research!) It goes great in soup, and we'll also post a recipe for "Raw Kale Toss" that is delicious.
