Kale can be served cooked or raw and is packed with nutrition. It can be a little tough and slightly bitter when served raw, but massaging it will help to break down the fiber and tenderize the leaves. Make a batch or two of massaged kale over the weekend and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to use throughout the week. Add it to salads or grain bowls or eat it with Fried or Scrambled Eggs for Breakfast. I like to use lacinato kale (also known as dinosaur, tuscan, or black kale) but any type of kale will work.
