Our best kale recipes
The number one crop in our organic Market Garden’s planting roster is green curly kale, with more than 70,000 planted every summer. And no wonder: this versatile superfood is a great ingredient to have to hand to add colour, nutrition, texture and flavour to all sorts of dishes.
Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on earth, per calorie and can be eaten both raw and cooked. Here are a few of our best kale recipes to help you enjoy it.
COMFORTING GRATIN
A wonderful recipe to keep up your sleeve in the colder months, this warming, satisfying and creamy gratin is adaptable and can even be prepared in advance.
SEASONAL SALADS
